Visit Kawah Putih, a volcanic crater lake at the foot of Mount Patuha

Visit Kawah Putih - It had always been a dream of mine to visit Kawah Putih, a volcanic crater lake at the foot of Mount Patuha, near Bandung.

The natural wonder has been used as the backdrop for a number of fashion spreads and music videos in recent years, due to its stunning color contrasts and its isolated, middle-of-nowhere feel. I had only ever seen it in photographs but was captivated by its white sands and clear, blue-green water. readmore Volcanic (Crater) Lakes of the World : Kawah Putih

That is why I jumped at the chance last week to visit the crater with my cousin, who was making a trip to Bandung. We had been to Bandung plenty of times, to enjoy its shopping and culinary scenes, the hot springs at Ciater and the vistas of Tangkuban Perahu. This time, we vowed to make the drive out to Kawah Putih as well.

Located at the top of Mount Patuha, Kawah Putih is around 40 kilometers from Bandung, or a three-hour drive from Jakarta. The best way to get there from the capital is to take the Cipularang toll, exit at Kopo and head straight for Ciwidey.

Ciwidey itself is a fascinating destination if you have enough time to drop by. In the gardens there, you can pick strawberries to take home, or to eat right there among the beautiful mountain scenery.

There are also a number of food stalls offering strawberry-inspired dishes, including strawberry meatball soup, strawberry spaghetti and even strawberry fried rice. The food in Ciwidey is well-priced.

Not so for the entrance fee at Kawah Putih, as my cousin and I were soon to discover. We were shocked to learn the fee for the two of us to enter the natural site was Rp 180,000 ($20) — Rp 150,000 for the car, plus Rp 15,000 per person.

Visitors arriving by motorcycle only have to pay a fee of Rp 5,000 for their vehicle, so it is not clear why the fee for cars was so expensive. We begrudgingly handed over the cash and tried to enjoy the natural surroundings.

With such a mystical atmosphere, it is no wonder Kawah Putih has long been the subject of local myths and legends. Many people who live in the area believe that the crater is where the spirits of their ancestors reside. Before Dutch explorer Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn came across the crater in 1837, local people avoided the site because they were afraid of the powerful spirits.

The nearby Mount Patuha is also considered to be an ancestral site. Its name comes from “Pak Tua,” or “Old Man,” a term used to refer to honored seniors in society. The mountain’s other name, Mount Sepuh, means “the honored” — another reference to the ancestors.

My cousin and I took a walk around the crater, admiring its white, chalky walls and the hues of turquoise in the water. The water is colored by a high sulfur content and changes according to the weather.

Some visitors find the sulfuric fumes overwhelming, so it is recommended that a face mask is worn and no more than 15 minutes at a time is spent in the crater. Taking in the view, my cousin and I stayed for more than half an hour and soon began to feel light-headed.

Christmas markets in Vienna

Christmas markets in Vienna - Are you looking for a unique gift in one of the best environments in the world Christmas?. Well, I think there's no better place to spend Christmas in the spirit of a city like Vienna, surrounded by magnificent markets. And the Christmas markets in Vienna is one of the most famous Austrian traditions.

Rathaus

Many thanks to their success, they are even open until late December, after the Christmas season. There are many to choose from. I am sure that they find the best decorations, the most precious mulled wine, gingerbread and more flashy colored lights.

The Rathaus Christmas market is probably the most famous Christmas markets in Vienna. It is located opposite the impressive Gothic town hall, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Europe. At this time, the park surrounding the square is transformed into a beautiful forest of light and color. Lights in the shape of hearts, bears and snowmen decorate and illuminate the trees, while playing traditional Christmas music.

Rathaus is the perfect place to bring children. The outside of the town hall is transformed into a huge Christmas workshop where children can try making your own gifts by hand. There are also pony rides offered by the park and a motorized carousel train took us around the market.

In total there may be approximately 163 stalls. They are made of wood and offer the traditional Glüwhein, a drink of mulled wine and punch, hot sandwiches and a wide range of traditional gifts and decorations. Anyway, we are not with anything particularly surprising or original.

Karlsplatz

From 23 November to 23 December is the market on Karlsplatz, located in the plaza that houses the Church of San Carlos Borromeo, in the neighborhood of Belvedere. It's a warm and vibrant place to enjoy the spirit of Christmas. This market is particularly remarkable for its excellent range of craft stalls.

Open from noon, but the best visit is when jobs are lit and the smell of roasted chestnuts fills the air. Give them a tour of the posts and many of them you will demonstrate how to make your wood finishes and leather. They mostly sell gorgeous handcrafted items, especially the stained glass, stained glass-like, as well as handmade jewelry and original silver pendants.

Schronburg flea market is located on the front of the Imperial Palace. It is smaller than the above, but has some excellent craft stalls arrived from all parts of Austria and Germany. Open from November 24 to December 26. Walking through it with a cup of mulled wine and listen to the live sound of carols under the big Christmas tree.

Many of the gifts that are similar to those that can be seen in other markets, but the quality is excellent. The specialty is the carved wooden decorations hand-painted Christmas ornaments by hand in paper mache and ceramic balls and stars.

Finally, I get closer to the market in the Maria Theresien Platz. It is situated between the Museum of Fine Arts and Natural History. While not as spectacular as a flea market earlier, worth a visit. The bow is placed in a circle, allowing people to move freely. Here you can find original silver rings designed and crafted, as well as honey, candles and other holiday gifts.

You see, Vienna is a charming place to wander during the Christmas season. The atmosphere, stunning, lively, with good taste to find your original gift. Do not say that we give clues for Christmas ...
