This Dutch-language guidebook is a practical mountaineering and excursion guide for Java. It lists routes to major mountains and volcanic regions, including Puloesari, Karang, Salak, Gede-Pangerango, Tangkuban Prahu, Tampomas, Patuha, Malabar, Papandajan, and other West, Central, and East Java mountain areas. The entries often include route alternatives, starting points, estimated travel times, camping possibilities, porter arrangements, maps, water availability, warnings, and references to geological or natural-history literature. The book is valuable not only as a climbing guide but also as a historical document of colonial-era mobility, mountain tourism, and scientific interest in Java’s volcanic landscape. Because Stehn was closely associated with volcanological work, the guide combines practical travel information with references to volcanology, topography, natural history, and local infrastructure. It is useful for researchers studying the history of mountaineering, colonial geography, tourism, and environmental knowledge production in the Dutch East Indies.
