Toba lake itself is a volcanic lake that occurs when there is an explosion of the volcano at 69000-77000 years ago, is expected as well as one of the largest volcanic explosions in the world. After the blast, created kaledra (depressions in the ground after a volcanic eruption) which is then filled with water and we now know as Lake Toba. Middle of Lake Toba also has a small island called Samosir island. If friends all want to go see the lake Toba, it is advisable to stop at the town of Parapat.From there to see the beauty of Lake Toba clearer. Parapat also includes one of the city of tourism in northern Sumatra. So do not worry for business accommodation, hospitality, and the like. :) Hopefully there is available. And also later from Parapat, access to the stricken area other toba travel around more easily, because there are boats, ferry, or the like that are ready to transport. The majority ethnic population in the vicinity of Lake Toba is a hobo. In general the people there livelihood as farmers, traders, and fishermen. Personal Sy actually quite impressed with its natural lake toba and potential regardless of the fact that said that the number of tourists has decreased as a result there is less attention and care from those responsible. Whatever it is Lake Toba is going to be our joint responsibility and obligation to be preserved. Photographs or drawings of this toba lake might be the general picture of how the views of the lake Toba, and also a little picture of the surrounding population. Or perhaps it could be a cure longing for a friend who might wander into a place far away and long time there has not been to the area toba. .. he he. This photo is NOT my work but the work of Johnny Siahaan, I met her collection at flickr.com site and have asked permission from the owner to be displayed. Probably not hurt to share here.
