Batu Kikir

[1] It is made popular by a phrase Batu Kikir Jambatan Bosi from a line of lyrics of a popular Negri folk song "Apo Kono Eh Jang", a nod to a former truss bridge that spans the Jempol River (right tributary of the Muar River) situated immediately north of the town, which had been the town's landmark until it was replaced by a more modern concrete bridge.

Batu Kikir is well known as the birthplace of Pendita Za'aba (Zainal Abidin Ahmad), a renowned intellectual and wordsmith in Malaysia.

Towards the west of town, nestled in the Titiwangsa Range is the Jeram Tengkek Amenity Forest, which has a medium high tiered waterfall and crystal clear streams bridged by wooden pedestrian walkways.

Nearby Jeram Tengkek is Bukit Baginda, which is also a hot tourist spot for its picturesque view and its landmark wave rock formation.

At the east is Kampung Lonek, a place of paddy fields along the road to Bahau, where tourists can experience the originality of a villager's life.
