People can buy mangoes cheated. Fortunately, a friend said, "Lake Toba was large, we get from the other side." These words reinforce our intention, not to mention the memories of his childhood idol, Julius Sitanggang, whose voice still ringing in his ears: Lake Toba ... oh Lake Toba ... beautiful lakes and gorgeous ....
Depart on Sunday morning, we headed Sidikalang of Medan, Dairi district, to meet some friends. After that headed Tele, one of the best angle to see the Lake Toba. In Sidikalang, we received information on the existence of lakes in Lake Toba, Samosir Island lakes. Lake Sidihoni name. An image of the ideal journey.
Our trip could proceed after a faltered saw several trucks carrying Sidikalang the famous durian. Buy ... not ... buy ... not .... "There's also why in Medan, wrapped box instead of plastic, laminated, ready to enter the plane," said Maringan S Pardede, Sidikalang citizens.
Road between Sidikalang and Tele through coffee plantations and orange, alternating with fields where horses graze alongside children who exult, joking as she bathe in clear water.
Hours are 17:00 o'clock passed, while occasionally, little by little, Lake Toba presented itself, between the hills. So mysterious all at once poetic atmosphere.
Tele is one of the best angle for the public to view the Lake Toba. A view of the tower stood in the corner. On the left side looked Mount Pusuk Buhit, Batak mythology, mountains, fog and cloud-covered. On the right side several waterfalls flowing from the cliffs of Lake Toba. In front of the tower, Lake Toba lies. Light rain falling, a cold, but not piercing.
Some people who come to Tele often muttered, Tele remind them of the mountains in the film Lords of the Ring.
Today's roads from Tele to Samosir Island down the hill was widened. Rider safety at stake. Rock cliff on the left side prone to landslides, while tens of meters gaping chasm on the right. Bergeronjal streets, damaged. Unfortunately, the beauty of Lake Toba hide the death due to poor infrastructure.
Fish soup
The sun was almost drowned when suddenly we felt a strange car on a level road shock. An incident occurred: our car tires burst. Honestly, we do not know the name jack, let alone where the spare tire. Lucky, a young man from Singapore who was passing by with his host and the bone would have stretched out under the car looking for a hook that has been rusted spare tire and help us change the tire.
Around seven in the evening we arrived in Pangururan, the largest city on the island of Samosir. We stayed at Ambarita, welcomed Jumaga Gultom, the host who invites a conversation on the terrace with a sound background of violent crushing waters of Lake Toba, a distance of two meters from where we sit.
Jumaga wife, Masrida SIH serve menu that day, fish soup, Lake Toba, the newly created because it's our only guest on that cold day. Nothing else was missing, after a bowl of hot soup with pieces of tilapia fish fresh tomatoes eaten with warm rice.
The chat flowed into here and there, from the lake water rose several feet in recent times, until the foreign tourists who never came back since the Bali bomb attacks. Quite a lot of domestic tourists, but most stop at Parapat.
We could view the house when the owner told me about Lake Sidihoni. "It could be just half an hour from Pangururan, but because the road was broken two hours could be more," he said. In my heart I said, the tires could be broken again, ya.
We leave at six in the morning to Sidihoni. In-Huta Huta aka villages along the way, the faces of small children emerged from the custom house, while their mother in the yard sweep. Fields and the tomb where the bones of the ancestors Batak reburied during a ceremony Mangongkal Holi lined the roadside.
"Boru What are you, host?" Light a rebuke that gliding easily lead to a long conversation about husbands, wives, children, grandchildren, to life. Our trip was simple, but real, into the life of the host and Amang in Samosir, not just watching something artificial.
Travel from Pangururan into Lake Sidihoni uphill road which will not only severely damaged, but destroyed. Seven kilometers of roads need to be taken within two hours. Fortunately, the scenery of Lake Toba from the top is very beautiful. Lake Toba even visible in 180-degree wide angle. Pine forests and wild flowers along the way there.
Sidihoni
In the midst of meadows and fields, emerged Sidihoni Lake, upper lake is Lake Toba. On the banks of the lake that intangible the hill looks a little old church.
There are no tourist bustle around the deserted lake. Only a coffee shop with some guy who menongkrong fun with pool table and a cup of coffee. "There used to be Western tourists often camp here they like to swim in the lake," said Naibaho, local resident.
Sidihoni Lake is located in the middle of the meadow in the village of Ronggur Nihuta, the highest village in Samosir situated at an altitude of about 1500 meters. According Maruhum Simalango (73), community elders, the area was forest undergrowth. Swamp in the middle of the jungle turned into a lake. It happened hundreds of years ago.
Maruhum story, there's the story behind the tranquility of the lake area can achieve the maximum five acres with a depth of 90 meters. Occasionally the lake is visible nodes so invite the tourists to swim.
There are special moments when change the color of the lake follow the conditions of this republic. "Been twice this lake is red, time 30 September 1965 and the time Soeharto stepped down," said Marihun.
When we were there, right on the second day of the legislative election campaign (17 / 3), the shrinkage of the lake water was murky brown. I do not know what that means ....
