Balangan, S Kalimantan (Antaranews Kalsel) - Some youth belong to Forum Komunitas Hijau (FKH) or Green Community Forum of Sanggam Balangan hopes the access road to Tayak Waterfall, Uren Village, Halong Sub-district, will be improved.
Tayak Waterfall is worthy of being the tourist destination of South Kalimantan, because of its natural conditions in the Meratus Mountains. It has multilevel waterfalls, with clear water, full of distinctive vegetation.
