Selokambang (lit. the floating stone) is one of highlight of Lumajang. It's located at the foot of Mt Semeru, which is the highest volcano on Java. This pool can be reached from the town center by minibuses, or for more interesting view you can rent a bike and cycle there (only 6 km). This pool is very popular among locals, but not so crowded. The most enjoyable way is to get there early in the morning and enjoy the sunrise when dipping in it.

Favorite thing: As a small town with 1 million population only (gosh...., it's still a tiny regency compared to other cities in Java), Lumajang tends to have a quiet and wide street, crowded by becak rickshaw instead of cars. The main street is just a long street with shops and vendors everywhere. A really "quiet" town. Everything is cheap here compared to other cities in Java, but not so much variety for shopping. The locals tend to go to Surabaya or Jember for a more complete shopping.
