"Lingkok Kuwieng" is located in the hinterland of Hagu forest, 20 km or 1.5 hours from the center of Padang Tiji Subdistrict, Pidie, Aceh. The place is often called the Grand Canyon of Aceh. Imagine, the river wall there is a rock that is neatly arranged in the form of a large canyon.

The canyon is formed somewhat like an ancient site. The arrangement and contours of the stone at first glance like the results of hand-carved men of old. But make no mistake, the canyon there is formed by itself.

The uniqueness of the Kuwieng Lingkok canyon is a purely natural phenomenon, due to erosion by mountain water that always flows with an ever-changing volume.


In Lingkok Kuwieng, we can take a bath to enjoy the clean and cold water from the source. The water comes out of some rocky crevices. In addition, we can also bathe in a number of waterfalls created by the bottom of the river that descends on the rocks.

Being in the interior of the forest with natural beauty is still awake, we can also relax for a moment on the flat rocks while enjoying the sound of river water flow and birds nyinyiran from the forest.
Locals more familiar with the place with the name "Uruek Meuh" means the Golden Hole because of the rocks in there that resemble the color of gold.

access point

Despite being in the forest interior, Lingkok kuwieng can still be accessed by two-wheeled vehicles. However, it is advisable not to use motor matic. The steep streets and rocks will drive adrenaline riders.

From Medan National Road - Banda Aceh, precisely in Padang Tiji market, visitors please follow the asphalt line in front of Koramil Padang Tiji.

Next just follow the path until you will enter the streets filled with rocks. Once the asphalt road passes, well from where the adventure begins.

The path that is the streets of citizens to the garden is very steep with large rocks. Especially when half way..
