The forested andesitic Gunung Patuha rises SW of the plain of Bandung in western Java. Patuha is the northern peak of a roughly 5-km-long N-S volcanic massif, and has a 300 m crater at the summit. A few hundred meters down the SE flank is a 400 x 500 m crater almost completely filled with a shallow greenish lake, Kawah Putih. Sulfur deposits are present around the shoreline and near active fumaroles on the crater walls. A large debris-avalanche deposit extends down the NE flank. The volcano was formed during the late Pleistocene, but no Holocene eruptions are known.
