Lake Lau Kawar
Danau Lau Kawar
A highland lake on the northern slope of Sinabung. Its calm scenery makes it a place to camp, go boating and fish by the shore.
Lake Lau Kawar lies on the northern slope of Mount Sinabung at about 1,400 metres. Its surface covers about 200 hectares and is surrounded by forest and farmland, and on fine days the volcano is reflected in the water. The lakeside has campsites and simple wooden cabins, and you can go boating and fishing. In earlier years it was the traditional starting point for climbing Sinabung. It is about an hour's drive from Berastagi, on roads that are partly narrow. Check for closures during active volcanic periods.
