PANORAMA LAKE TOBA FROM SIPOLHA HILL

Panorama of Lake Toba from Sipolha Hill

That Friday afternoon I gathered in parapet with my three friends. different from the previous 2 weeks which is always the rainy season, but this time the day is pretty bright, which makes us plan to walk a little bit looking for a little beauty to remove fatigue. The destination we are heading this time is the whole island in sipolha village. around 13 noon we started moving from parapet using 2 motorcycles which if people say the field went up Crete.

the path and we passed is from Jalan dolok headland. or often called an alternative way to siantar tiaras or simarjarunjung.

it takes about 20 minutes from parapat to get deviated dolok cape road. due to poor road conditions, accompanied by sufficient traffic jam in Manalapan area or sullen.

when it gets distorted, the road to the village sipolha will be very good, no holes, the road is wide enough to be able to spur motorcycle faster because the road is also still passed by very few vehicles.

along the journey which takes about 30 minutes, we will be presented with fresh air and interesting scenery where the left we can enjoy the landscape of Lake Toba which if people say Lake Toba is beautiful from all sides.

before you can sipolha village, right there is old building in the form of goldfish, but unfortunately this time I did not have time to take the picture because after returning from sipolha hp I have low hehe.

well after the church can cross, right down to the left, if friends confused with the location, may ask local residents. Starting this intersection, the steep path decreases with the road conditions are not as good as before. The road is not paved only consisting of pebbles and rocks. About 5 minutes we also passed a church and we arrived at the parking lot of residents. Rough parking on the street without a protective roof. But you do not be afraid because the parking attendant remains loyal in the parking area with a parking fee of only 2 thousand / motorcycle. We also do not charge any restribusi to enter the area of Bukit Sipolha alias Free.

From the parking area, we trekking only about 5 minutes and we arrived at the top of Sipolha Hill. From the top of this sipolha hill, we can see the view of Lake Toba with blue water. Beautiful again, we can also see a small island in the island Toba which is about 200 m from Sipolha hill. Hole island name. To get there we must use the services of crossing ship. It costs only 10 thousand / person. The flat surface of the hill is often used by nature lovers for camping.

From the info I read on the Internet, In the 90s to about 2002, formerly very popular sipolha visited by tourists. But after that, the tourist visit is decreasing until now because of the access road which starts and increasingly damaged. In the year 2016, Sipolha again becomes a tourist destination for the traveler, especially for the lovers of nature. Hill and Beach Sipolha a cool place to relax.

Without been 2 hours we were in Sipolha Hill. After satisfied take pictures in Lake Toba, satisfied to see the local fishing, we decided to continue the journey to other destinations. Here is my short story, Jolin, Ade son, Maya while enjoying Panorama of Lake Toba from Sipolha Hill, may be useful.
