Danau Batur is a crater lake that fills the south-eastern side of the calderas of an active volcano named Gunung Batur (Mount Batur). It is Bali's largest lake and has an area of approximately 18 square kilometers.The surrounding of the lake is a favorite place for picks you self up. At lake Batur you can see the scenic view and feel cool atmosphere.

The sheer size of the crater conjures up images of the massive eruption of the original Mount Batur that occurred tens of thousands years ago. The volcano is still active today as Balinese still remember the great eruption of 1917. It claimed thousands of lives and destroyed hundreds of temples.
