TOBA LAKE
There are many tourist resorts in
Indonesia. One of them is Lake Toba in North Sumatra. It is the largest lake in
the country, about 75 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide, with a large
island in it, the island of Samosir. It is not too difficult to get to the
lake. An excellent road, partly winding through the mountains, links it with
Medan the capital of the province. A taxi will easily cover the distance in
three and half hours. Medan it self only two hours flying time from Jakarta.
Lake Toba is situated in a mountainous area, 900 meters above sea level. Thus it has a pleasant climate. A hotel of international standard found at Prapat, is on the east bank. People who wish to get away from modern comforts Western ways can find accommodation at more modest places.
What has Lake Toba to offer to the traveler from distant places? It is really worth visiting? First of all, there is the beautiful grandeur of nature. The mountains around the Lake, the mountain streams, the forests, and the island in the lake, all possess a beauty which is a challenge to imagination. Relaxing on boat, watching the tops of the mountains or the clouds above, creates sensations of contentment rarely felt before. Those who are more actively may find enjoyment in water-skiing, rowing, or exploring the island.
Ethnologist may care to study the people and their customs, language, social culture, and so on. The large family houses have always been one of the greatest attractions for visitors to this region.
