Another precious attraction in Kintamani which is a must visit for you is the famous Lake Batur (Danau Batur)
Welcome to Lake Batur
What to expect at the Lake Batur
Located on the south eastern side of the active volcano Mount Batur, Lake Batur is a stunning volcanic crater considered holy by the Balinese people. The crescent shaped volcanic lake is the widest lake in Bali, and its serene blue waters are surrounded by the towering blue figures of the Batur and Abang ranges. Known by the locals as Danau Batur, Lake Batur lies in the caldera of the active Batur Volcano. The lake was created by an eruption in the year 1971, which claimed several lives and properties. The eruption destroyed the Pura Ulun Danu Batur temple, Bali’s biggest temple, which then nestled near the lake area. The temple was then reconstructed again at some distance, away from Mount Batur’s Ring of Fire.
The Lake offers multiple sport opportunities, such as boating, canoeing, swimming and offers a perfect setting for having picnics. The lake also has a natural hot spring of its own, where visitors can enjoy a hot bath at all times of the day. With its multiple sport opportunities, mesmerizing landscape and scenic backdrop, Lake Batur offers a perfect sojourn for travelers, away from the bustle of the busy city life.
