DANAU LINAU Tours, Tourism and Traveling

LINAU LAKE, exoticism

That afternoon, we took time to visit Lake Linau before follow KONIKA in Manado. The journey from Sam Raulangi Airport to the lake was quite tiring.

We took the bus passes along a fairly deserted Tomohon in the afternoon. Tomohon is one city in the province of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Prior to 2003 was one district in Minahasa regency. During its development, Tomohon experienced a lot of progress, so there are aspirations of its citizens to improve the status of Tomohon become a city. On the right side of the road, mountain panorama visible also Lokon, but unfortunately, I have not had time to photograph them.

Fatigue and fatigue accompany. In my heart, I think, how beautiful lake Linau. Why did not we go to the lake Tondano are already known. Until finally reached the destination.

Tomohon really a religious city. On either side of the road, a distance of no more than 500 meters, the church with a variety of architectural standing. There are churches with architecture of Spain, the UK, other European, American and other patterns that I do not know. Some churches also made from wood, walls and there is also a typical church architecture Sulawesi, houses on stilts. But that all is not my goal. My goal is only one, Lake Linau.

 

After a long bus trip, I arrived at Lake Linau. For information, Linau Lake is a unique lake and the lake is often called the three colors. The lake is located in the Village Lahendong, District of South Tomohon, Tomohon, North Sulawesi. Location of this lake was once a volcanic crater. According to stories handed down from older people in the region, was once the crater lake. But after thousands of years of natural processes into the lake.
 

The first view, in my eyes is the expanse of blue ocean. I never imagined before. Very different from the crater of Mount Kelud in Blitar, my hometown. The lake seems so beautiful from a distance. Quiet, silent, seemed to want to shower and get into it.

 

Linau called because when the sun shone, the color of water on its surface may appear yellow, green and red. However, the color is now more than three colors. Three colors were due to the influence of sulfur color. The color is more than three. As the sun just above the surface of the lake, looked dark green, light green, blue, yellow, orange and white. Almost like the colors of the rainbow.

 

On the side of the lake, I think the north side if I was not disoriented. There are small clumps of hills that emit sulfur vapor. The smell of sulfur stung. Characteristic odor of the volcano. Chunks of sulfur mixed with rocks protruding. My God, so amazing.
