Hello Hivers..

In the PhotoFeed Contest - Landscape Photography Round 87 held by @Phofofeed, I shared about the beauty of Laut Tawar lake seen from the Burni Klieten mountain hiking trail. I took this photo while hiking Mount Burni Klieten in Syiah Utana village, Lut Tawar District, Central Aceh Regency, Aceh, Indonesia.

Amidst the stunning natural beauty of Gayo lies an unforgettable hiking experience: the Burni Klieten summit trail. Hidden within the Gunung Leuser National Park, this hike not only offers an amazing physical challenge, but also a soul-stirring natural view, especially when reaching the highest point that offers a spectacular view of Lake Laut Tawar.

Lake Laut Tawar, with an area of around 134 km², is one of the few freshwater lakes in Indonesia. The uniqueness of this lake lies not only in its large size, but also in the clarity of its water that allows you to see to great depths. When the sun is above it, the lake sparkles like a blue gem that adds to the charm of its natural surroundings.

From the height of the Burni Klieten summit, hikers can enjoy a unique perspective of the lake: how it stretches between the mountains, how the daily lives of the surrounding population are closely linked to this natural resource, and how important the preservation of this area is for the sustainability of the ecosystem and local community.

Climbing Burni Klieten and seeing Lake Laut Tawar from its peak is an impressive and profound experience. In addition to its stunning natural beauty, this experience also teaches us about how fragile nature is and the importance of our role in preserving it. Let's work together to preserve this beauty so that it can be enjoyed by future generations, while continuing to admire the unforgettable natural wonders of Central Aceh.

Important Note: I wrote in Indonesian, then translated it using Google Translate.
