Geocache Description:

Best view point to see the twin lakes Buyan (left / east) and Tamblingan (right / west) and Lesung and Batukaru mountains in behind. Whole area is under UNESCO protection Nejlepší vyhlídka na dvojici jezer Buyan (vlevo / východní) a Tamblingan (vpravo / západní) a hory Lesung a Batukaru v pozadí. Celá oblast je pod ochranou UNESCO.

Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan, separated by a rainforest-covered hill, are known as the Twin Lakes. This sight is a great overview of the volcanic heart of Bali. Volcanoes have created and shaped this island, creating volcanic cones and lakes, and producing rich soils enabling a lush forest to grow. Lake Buyan (on the left here) is Bali’s second biggest lake, after Lake Batur. Coming from the southern developed areas of Sanur, Denpasar or Kuta, here we realize what Bali really is about. Grand Nature, like about the whole Indonesian Archipelago. It was a choice of the authorities to dedicate the south of the island to cities and large scale tourism, and leave the rest of the island less urbanized. This stop over the Twin Lakes is often part a tour in the northern part of Bali, frequently including the Gitgit Waterfalls, the Banjar Hot Spring pools and the Brahma Arama Buddhist Monastery. Hikes Around The Twin Lakes The Twin Lakes are often overlooked by the tourists who most of the time stop for 5 mins, take a photo and leave. It’s too bad because around the lakes, several nice hikes are possible with local guides, offering you some unique viewpoints to this unique landscape. Just go down by the steps about 100 meters to your right to get to Pura Danau Tamblingan from where you can one of two paths around lakes - more info and geocaches later...
