Mt Ciremai is strikingly visible towards the south from the main west–east corridor (Jakarta-Surabaya) rail link along the north coast of Java.

Causes are said to include illegal logging, sand quarrying (often for construction purposes in nearby areas), and forest fires.

The museum at Linggajati on the slopes of Mt Ceremai which records the important historical event of the Linggadjati Agreement during the struggle for Indonesian Independence in 1946 attracts many visitors during weekends.

Near the town of Cilimus (between Cirebon and Kuningan city), there is a natural volcanic hot springs of Sangkanhurip.

As is frequently the case in other parts of Indonesia, groups are expected to register with local officials before beginning the climb.
