### The Sad Origin of “Coban Jahe”
Despite its name, Coban Jahe is unrelated to the ginger plant. The name is derived from the Javanese word *“pejahe”*, meaning “the dead” or “those who have passed away.”
During the Dutch colonial era, **38 Indonesian freedom fighters** took refuge in this area. Sadly, they were discovered and shot from above the cliff by Dutch soldiers. All of them perished in the attack. This tragic event inspired the name “Coban Jahe.”
These fallen heroes were later buried at a Heroes’ Cemetery** located about 500 meters before the entrance to the waterfall. A **memorial monument** called *“Tugu Makam Kali Jahe”* marks the site.

Coban Jahe is located at **Jl. Begawan, Dusun Krajan, Taji Village**, in **Jabung District, Malang Regency**. It is around **24 kilometers** fr
om the center of Malang City and can be reached in approximately **1 hour** by vehicle.
