The Great Post Road (Indonesian: Jalan Raya Pos, Dutch: De Grote Postweg[1]) is the name for the historical road that runs across Java and connects Anyer with Panarukan. It was built during the administration of Herman Willem Daendels (1808–1811), governor-general of the Dutch East Indies, using unpaid forced labour that cost thousands of lives.
