Central Aceh district, Aceh, has a lot of tourist charm. This area is in the Gayo highlands. The Gayo region includes three districts. Among these are Central Aceh, Bener Meriah, and Gayo Lues. This area is also known as the best coffee producing region.
In addition to mountains and coffee, one of a number of tourist attractions there is Lake Lut Tawar. Some people call it the Sea of Fresh.
The lake is 5,472 hectares. Its length is about 17 km and width is 3,219 km. I visited there on Thursday, January 11, 2018. The temperature there reached 14 degrees Celsius. The cold makes the body shiver. A thick jacket is necessary if visiting there.
Lake Lut Tawar become the place of fish population depik. On the edge of the lake, there are many keramba owned by local residents. In addition to fish depik, there is also cultivated fish mujair. In Gayo language, it is called mujaher fish.
It was quite a day enjoying the charm of Lake Lut Tawar. I visited a cafe on the edge of the lake. The seat is slightly floating on the water. Underneath the fish cage shades of view. The water of the lake is very calm and clear.
I ordered Gayo coffee while looking at local residents giving fish bait in keramba. In the middle of the lake, residents are pedaling. West side of the lake, looks Takengon City with the building as arranged.
The best time to enjoy Lut Tawar is in the morning. Before sunrise, the lake water looks like dew. On it a white haze hangs not too high. This scene, we can enjoy about 30 minutes. At approximately 07:45 pm, the sun was visible behind the mountains that circle the lake.
