The eastern salient of Java (Indonesian: ujung timur,[2] "eastern end" or Tapal Kuda,[3] "The Horseshoe" – referring to the region's shape on the map; Javanese: bang wetan,[4] "far east", Dutch: Oosthoek,[4] "eastern corner") is a region that makes up the easternmost part of the island of Java, Indonesia. It is not a formal or administrative subdivision, but rather a designation often used to refer to its distinct history, culture, and geographical feature. It is generally considered to begin in the Tengger mountain range and extend eastwards to the east coast of Java.[2] It is entirely contained by the Indonesian province of East Java.
