Bukit Kasih
Places of worship for five major religions stand side by side on a hillside, symbolising religious harmony. A cross tops the summit, and sulphur vents steam at the foot.
Bukit Kasih is located in the village of Kanonang and was built in 2002. A mosque, a Catholic church, a Protestant church, a Hindu temple and a Buddhist temple stand side by side on the hillside, symbolising the peaceful coexistence of religions in North Sulawesi. Climbing about 2,000 steps to the top reveals a giant cross and panoramic views. At the foot of the hill are giant reliefs of Toar and Lumimuut, the ancestors of the Minahasan people. Geothermal steam vents nearby release sulphurous vapour, and you can boil eggs in them. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Manado.
