The cool and natural atmosphere is the main attraction of this lake, which is very busy with visitors.
A Glance at Laut Tawar Lake Lake Laut Tawar or local residents call it Lake Lut Tawar is a tectovolcanic lake in the Gayo Highlands. It covers more than 5,472 hectares and is at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level. The name of this lake itself comes from the sound of crashing waves that can be heard when you are on the edge of the lake. You can also hear a similar sound when visiting Lake Toba in North Sumatra. Because of the sound of the waves in this fresh water lake, Gayo residents finally called this place Lake Lut Tawar or the fresh sea. However, there are also those who say the name comes from the vastness of the lake which is like an ocean.
The history of this lake itself cannot be separated from a number of folklore and myths circulating in society. One of them is about Unok and the big tree on the edge of the pond which is the story of the origin of this lake and the Peusangan River.
Apart from the folklore, the beauty of this lake does look very charming. So it is natural that this place is called one of the rivals of Lake Toba from Aceh.
