Walking on the side of a lake is fun. Water, the most important part of nature, was always able to offer one million travelers a interpretrasi of beauty, especially in an area that still touch naturally. Without greedy human beings, natural criminals a term for the loggers, loggers logging.
How to describe a lake on the lake? The question which first appeared in my mind when I heard and read briefly to explain Aek Natonang Lake, who was in the highlands of Samosir.
In fact Samosir regency, there are two lakes on the lake. First Sidihoni Lake, located about 8 kilometers from the district Pangururan Samosir regency. Surrounded by sloping green hills and rows of young pine trees, the added beauty. Unfortunately, this lake seems to "miserable" or not managed properly. Unfortunately again, most of the population around the lake are still using water to wash the toilet shower facilities (MCK). In addition, the limited transportation infrastructure also makes these attractions do not get many tourists visit.
That Samosir. The new district in 2003 divided it did have a lot of potential in the tourism sector. Sidihoni Lake, who is now languishing alone was not experienced. Its parent lake, Lake Toba, also languished. He has received "treatment" of the same community as well as local and central government.
If he could speak, he would rebel. If he has a tear, maybe he'll cry all the time and tears tu would be the clear lake water." On the way home, I assume if.
People treat it like a bathroom, shower as they pleased, wash clothes, so crap. That's what happened with the largest lake in Southeast Asia
Forget about it for a moment about the fate of Lake Toba. Now, it's time to visit tourist sites near human feet seldom touch it. Where? The answer, of Aek Natonang Lake. How getting there?
This is the problem since setting foot on the Earth's Samosir, recently. Since arriving in District Pangururan by road traffic from County Sidikalang Tele, a food trader explained in the capital district area of 1419.05 km's.
He was told, but the first order of boiled noodles. Very fitting to the weather conditions, cold. Based on this story we begin the journey toward the lake increasingly "mysterious" - at least for me - the next day.
From Pengururan continue our journey toward Tomok, known as the attraction of the show Sigale- gale statue. It is said, according Sidabutar (46), manager Tomok Museum, the word "Tomok" is derived from the word "Tolmok 'which means a young adult male who has a fat body posture and short. "But not too fat and not too short, while half," he said when we visited a museum filled with historical objects Batak tribe's heritage.
In detail she explains one by one sacred object that he found it hard, starting from the king bed Hobbung Sidabutar who once used as a storage property of the king), Panaluan Single Sticks, Laklak (book documenting the history of Batak and the ancient calendar calendar) , rudang, ulos, appang na bolon, parhokkom, pangir.
"One of the efforts to preserve the legacy of the many stores the value of art and the Batak culture, celebrated each year by organizing the ceremony called Horja Bios" he said with enthusiasm
***
The journey begins. I also remembered a remark, whether a song or sound of an ad on TV: "it's show time".
With the first renting a motor duck for Rp 50 thousand we started the journey to Lake Aek Natonang. "If you want to go to Aek Natonang Lake, lae, there you will find an exact intersection on the right, well from there go ahead, but be careful way worse," said an unknown guide.
So far about 1.5 hours was exhausting. Access roads winding and climbing. Once through the village we came Parmonagan Village Tanjungan where Aek Natonang Lake is located. Indeed, before reaching Parmonangan, access roads already paved Hotmix even when arrived at the Village Tanjungan, journey began tergganggu due road conditions are not feasible at all. His condition is serious and worrying. Damage to road access due to be used for the purposes of trucks laden with a cargo of logs a ton of weight
Tanjungan Village, community life events seem entirely based on agriculture. Some worked as a woodcutter, either to be taken where, but at least it was illegal-logging, it is not likely to damage the majority tofografi sloping hills. Some also planted with coffee beans, onions and peanuts
Aek Natonang Lake was very beautiful. Although the water is not as clear water of Lake Toba, but the calm water and beautiful natural atmosphere makes anyone feel at home here visiting for a long time. Unfortunately, in this place there is not any means of support for tourists attracted to come here. As a result, boredom, might be a "gift" which sets in for long when I got here
That Aek Natonang Lake, again I assume if: "If the lakes in this Samosir (Sidihoni Lake, Lake Aek Natonang and Lake Toba) could talk, they would revolt, if they can cry, may be many small lakes due to crying ". No feel like, we've got Tuktuk Siadong, where we stayed.
Mmh, cold .... But, nice!
Aek Natonang Lake, Lake on the Lake
