The topography of Tomohon City flanked by two mountains namely Mount Lokon and Mount Mahawu makes this area feel so cool. Beautiful nature with the main dish panorama of mountains and hills. Flowers thrive around this area so that Tomohon was nicknamed the City of Thousand Flowers. One of the leading tourist destinations in this area is Lake Linow, a beautiful lake that exudes three colors of beauty. Located 30 km from Manado City or takes about 1 hour drive, Lake Linow can be taken 3 km to the west from Tomohon City. During the trip, we were presented with a green view of the hills covered with large trees. Mount Lokon, which is still active, is also a panorama presented here. Having a nearly perfect triangle shape, this mountain seems to spoil the eyes with the green trees. The smell resembling rotten eggs immediately pierced the nose once we just arrived at the Lake Linow area.
This aroma comes from the smell of sulfur that is scattered around the lake. It is said that this sulfur is the remnant of the eruption of Mount Mahawu that occurred hundreds of years ago. The word Linow is taken from the Minahasa language that is Lilinowan which means a gathering place for water. In this lake, we can see the color of water that can change colors to green, blue and brownish yellow. Changes occur because the element of sulfur buried in the lake and refraction and reflection of sunlight that causes the color of the water in Lake Linow can change.
Come in the morning when the air is still clean. Because at that time the most appropriate time to enjoy the beauty of Lake Linow. Quiet and soothing becomes the atmosphere that can be obtained. Besides the beautiful beauty, the weather in the lake area is also very cool. Traveling around the shores of the lake becomes an activity that can be done on this lake. But visitors do not try to swim. High sulfur content can make the body hurt and be fatal.
Visiting Lake Linow is relatively cheap. Visitors just need to pay Rp. 25,000 to be able to enjoy the beauty of this lake. Not only that, here visitors will also get a cup of tea or coffee. But if the cost is big enough, go down to the tavern at the bottom, where tourists just need to pay Rp 5,000 and immediately be able to enjoy the beauty of Lake Linow from the shore. Visiting the lake is a very pleasant experience. Looking at the beauty of the natural lake that is presented and then capturing it in the camera is a memory that may not be forgotten here. The beauty and tranquility of Lake Linow is worth remembering forever.
