Toba Lake

Lake Toba lies in the northern part of Barisan Mountain Range, which is volcanic and traverses Sumatra Island from northwest to southeast as its backbone.
The laketrough is surrounded by precipitous cliffs 400-1,200 m high. Based on the topographic feature and the wide distribution of volcanic ejecta around the lake, some geologists and valcanologists have considered it to be a giant caldera or cauldron.
The water surface of L. Toba is 905 m above sea level and about 1,100 km2 wide. The total area of the lake, including the areas of Samosir and Paradapur Islands, amounts to 1,780 km2. The mountains around the lake are called Batak Highlands. The only draining river from L. Toba, the Asahan, flows southeastwards dissecting the gentle slopes of the pyroclastic plateau. (that's the formal way to describe Toba Lake)

Based on my experience about this place, this lake has own beauty rather than other lake in Indonesia, i was went to Toba Lake when my school has study tour to Medan, and Toba Lake is one of my experience in Medan.



its so fun and quite cheap in here, the civilians is very humble and kind, and they offered to have some memories in there, once again i don't have any pictures of me when i was went there but i still can remember the moments when i was there.
