Danau Toba
Lying right in the middle of the province, jewel-like
Danau Toba is Southeast Asia's largest freshwater
lake, and (at 525m) possibly the world's deepest too.
It was formed about eighty thousand years ago by a
colossal volcanic eruption: the caldera which was
created eventually buckled under the pressure and
collapsed in on itself, the high-sided basin that
remained filling with water to form the lake. A
second, smaller volcanic eruption, 50,000 years after
the first, created an island the size of Singapore in
the middle of the lake. This island, Samosir , is the
cultural and spiritual heartland of the Toba Batak and
the favoured destination for foreign travellers.
Ferries leave regularly from Parapat - the largest and
most convenient gateway for Samosir - and other
lakeside towns to the tiny east-coast peninsula of Tuk
Tuk and neighbouring Ambarita , the most popular
resorts on Samosir. The resorts , with their
bookshops, bars and magic mushroom omelettes (illegal
but ubiquitous), make Danau Toba the perfect spot to
chill out after the rigours of travel in Sumatra. From
these resorts you can go trekking in the deforested
hills in the centre of Samosir, or cycle around the
coastline, calling in at the tiny Batak villages with
their flamboyant tombs and distinctive concave-roofed
houses.
