The Myth To Get Your SOulmate Easier

Communities around the Root Bridge Painan believe anyone who is full of confidence in Sungai Batang Bayang bath with a position just below the bridge will be easy to get a mate. Really?

“Many have been proven,” said Eri M, one of the visitors who come to the bridge that is hundreds of years old. Root Bridge Painan be unique to the natural charm of West Sumatra. Bridges along the 10 meters and 1 meter wide linkage is made from the roots of two banyan trees in the two sides of cliffs facing each other. This bridge connects the Hamlet-sticky rice sticky rice and Lubuk Glare, Koto shadow on the South Coastal District (Pessel) separated by Sungai Batang Imagine that its surface is about 5-6 meters from the base of the bridge. River water comes from the Twin Lakes water in the area of ​​Solok Regency. On the banks of the river there are large rocks that are suitable for relaxing.

According to the story of the local community, the village was originally associated only with a suspension bridge of bamboo. It is said that traditional leaders in the region named Pakih Sokan planted two banyan trees in the two cliffs facing each other.

Pakih Sokan vowed to hold a ritual goat blood flush if the roots of the banyan tree that connects the two. After a short time ago, somehow, the two banyan tree’s roots were intertwined with each other and Pakih Sokan was extremely rejoiced. Then, Pakih Sokan kept his promise and hold a ritual goat and watering the roots of convergence with the blood of goats each year. “So that was haunted, too, he said,” Mother said Darwanis while brewing coffee and tea are booked by other visitors.

However, the relationship between the history of this bridge to the myth lightly soul mate was not too clear. Darwanis suspect’s mother, a myth arose because public wonderment to the linkage of two banyan tree roots are located opposite to be very robust to even passable. Mother Darwanis decades already selling food and soft drinks in this tourist area, precisely in the Hamlet Lubuk Glare.

Warung Ibu Darwanis even located on top of large rocks on the banks of Sungai Batang shadow. While relaxing in Mother Darwanis stalls, visitors can also enjoy a fun local village children who were bathing in the river or jumping into the river from the cliff side. According to Mrs. Darwanis Similarly, the area is bustling with visitors in high season. In addition to crowded with visitors, stalls on the side of the bridge is also filled with vendors hawking a variety of souvenirs. Regions that have been determined to be a tourist attraction is located 65-70 km to the south of Padang tau 15 km from Painan, the capital of Pessel. The trip will pass through the Gulf Bayur, legendary harbor in West Sumatra. From Simpang Bayang, travel about 1 mile forwarded again to find the location of the root bridge. In addition to using private vehicles, this location can be reached also by using the transport.

Processes to and from these places leave a lasting impression not disappointing too. On the left and right of the road lay the population of the green rice fields and the canal Sungai Batang shadow with waving palm trees along the edges.

Balekambang The South Ocean

Track tours this time into the South Sea Beach Balekambang precisely to locations in Bantur district, 65 km north to selatang from the city of Malang. If possible diliat from TrackLog, how many muter muter in the city of Malang, well that’s confused me want to get something to eat, where in the city of Malang, not because we do not have a restaurant but because his wife was pregnant again, his will is difficult to predict.
This is my second time to Bale Kambang and through routes Gondanglegi and Bantur, even though if diliat of maps, this trip can also be achieved through Pagak Kepanjen continue to turn left toward Bantur, but I think more remote and complicated so I decided to take the track through Gondanglegi and Bantur, although the road to the site of a wide range of shapes, ranging from derivatives to climb gradient that can only be pake gear dimobil (S 08.36315 E 112.55623), well but really cool anyway, especially once we see the entrance booth to the beach ( S 08.40005 E 112.54404), seemed relieved to get to. Oya little information on road routes after sub Gondanglegi enough passable only fit two cars, because I got a car not a problem Karimun yah dah. Do not imagine about what happened if a minibus on the street passing? whereas right and left derivatives fairly steep cliff with a decorated teak forests.

Balekambang beach was quite charming, it’s me talking lo beach, but unfortunately this is not supported with adequate facilities, to impress a slum. Especially if his clay MCK means that, sorry .. well it smells tau alone, however, this beach is quite clean with a gorgeous white sand, wide parking area. Also Teradpat failitas camping ground, souvenir kiosk, restaurant, information office, very sedeharna bungalows, mosque, and the marquee. Unfortunately all this was not treated well. Unfortunately yes, and for access per person USD. 5.200, – and every entry there is also a levy MCK USD. 500, -, but what I still smell and not well maintained, well dah tau, males mikirinnya, Indonesian name

Balekambang beach filled with sea reef, which stretches along approximately 2000 meters with a width of 200 meters to the sea. According to locals, if low tide is usually among the rocks or stones are mostly found clustered ornamental fish and other marine animals. This beach there are three islands lined up towards the west, namely Ismoyo Island, islands and island Anoman Wisanggeni. Ismoyo Island stands a magnificent temple, Pura access to bridges connected by a path with a width of 1.5 meters. At first glance, like a beach with a beach of Kuta – Bali.

In the month of Suro, Beach Balekambang quite busy at the tourists come from domestic or foreign. There is a special event at the beach this Balekambang ie Surohan Ceremony (Suro’an) and Jalanidhi Puja Ceremony. Good tour but first check the condition of your vehicle so comfortable and safe journey.

Sensational Natural Enchantment of Banyumas

Banyumas, of course familiar, if Banyumas, Central Java, have one Baturaden tourist attraction.Exquisite natural peculiarities ranging from forests, crystal clear river water, until asrinya campsite. However, it not only has Baturaden Banyumas.

In Sub Cilongok or about 15 km west of Navan Town, also has a tourist attraction similar to Baturaden. His charm sensational, because the typical mountainous nature really can be enjoyed by visitors. That Curug Cipendok and Heron Pond. If you want to visit Curug Cipendok, Get ready to bring an umbrella or raincoat, a minimum of clothes. For when entering Cipendok Curug area, you must have rained. This is because Curug Cipendok is a waterfall that has a height of almost 100 meters so that water droplets wet the surrounding areas, although it was not raining.

Curug Cipendok the main attraction, because of its natural environment are truly natural. The silence is still deeply felt, because not many travelers who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the Village Karangtengah, such Cilongok District.

Between Curug Cipendok with the car park about 500 meters remaining. But no worries, travel 500 meters of the road from the entrance to the Curug not going to make the bored. On the contrary, the journey is to make visitors brought into nature is still beautiful. With the road up and down, the tourists who come will be greeted with the sounds typical of tropical forest insects.

After walking for about 15-20 minutes, prior to Curug Cipendok will sound like the roar of heavy rains. That sounds a waterfall that fell from a height of almost 100 meters of it. The cold air combined with water droplets create a peaceful atmosphere and fresh. If you have a little lunch, the sun shines make a thin rainbow dots results reflected a drop of water.

Towards Curug Cipendok not too hard. Only, there has been no official public transport to get there, so that when tourists visit the place it should be by private vehicle or rental. Natural sights, being approximately 10 km west of Purwokerto, or about 5 km from Ajibarang, Banyumas.

From the highway Cilongok to the location is 8 km with the condition rose and winding road, but the asphalt was fine. Around the location Curug Cipendok, there are also tour the lake is absolutely stunning Lake Heron. Local lake surrounded by pine forests and resin, making it very suitable for camping ground.

This lake will be one of the leading tourist Banyumas to suck. Heron Pond Complex occupies an area of three hectares (ha), with an area of about one hectare lake. Tourist attraction in Banyumas may not have much to know, because the new will be opened officially become a tourist destination in 2005.

The attraction of this tourist attraction is the lake with a fairly clear water and the surrounding forest surrounded by an unspoiled. In addition, tourists can also hear the sounds of rare birds such as the Javanese eagle circling above the lake. Moreover, for the lucky visitors can see a kind of endemic species of monkey that is grayed-rek rek.

Sights into the territory of the Unitary Pemangkuan Perhutani Forest (KPH) East Banyumas begins overhaul with various facilities, due to officially become a tourist destination. KPH East Banyumas has equipped with parking, rest areas, and bathrooms. In fact, Perhutani has given names of rare trees that live there. Another purpose is not intended for students, besides enjoying nature, they also can recognize the rare plants that live in that place.

Pond heron around the field there are also places that can be used for camping ground. The place is intentionally created, reserved for young children who like adventure with in the wild.Heron Pond is a typical tourist Banyumas strengthen the nature of the mountains. With increasing tourism, the tourists who come to Banyumas increasingly mendambah alternative list of tourist destinations. So, if you have been to just go to Baturaden Banyumas, will lose. The reason is, there are still other alternative place that is no less asrinya. To be sure, tourists who come to this place will feel at peace, because it is far from the urban bustle.

Banjar Hot Water Village

At first I thought this place more often visited by domestic tourists or even local tourists from villagers around, but my assumption was wrong. Although managed by simple compared to other tourist sites in Bali and not widely publicized this place was able to attract foreign tourists who are not few and they seemed to really enjoy this place. Some say its location amid beautiful trees and still make them feel at home this pool bath.

Located in the Banjar village not far Pemuteran area and is approximately 25km from Singaraja this hot water should be passed on foot because vehicles can only go in and parked right in front of places selling tickets.

The location is very lush, green and beautiful walk allows us to linger to enjoy the atmosphere.Travel along a distance of about 300m to get to the location of the pond there are many souvenir shops selling traditional Balinese food and beverages other than the seller.

Hot-water source itself is said to have been around for hundreds of years ago but only during the Japanese occupation of this water source and the styled addressed.
Source water and pool itself is not too far away, shaded by banyan trees and given to the safety fence. Maybe so no guests or children who could be idle, so mired in it.

Hot-water pool is divided into three sections with different levels of different heights. In the first pool of hot water flowed through the mouths of eight dragons shower. Sulfur-containing hot water also flowed into the main pond by mouth five dragon fountain. In addition to not losing a favorite and sometimes until someone is willing to line up a third pond where there are three water fountains that flowed from a height of 3.5m.

The high make shower body like di’pijat ‘by the water so that visitors willing to linger standing under the shower water. Average pond depth is 1m, this is not a swimming pool but more to the swimming baths to soak. Only the largest pool has a depth of 1-2m.

As another hot water baths, hot springs at Banjar Village is also believed to cure some skin diseases. The temperature of the water felt warm enough to shower located in this cool area.

Because of its location open site visitors have to wear swimsuit (swimwear), not allowed to take a bath without clothes or bath using soap or shampoo pool. The location also provides a bathhouse locker room. Edge of the pool there is also the location of the restaurant for your family after a swim or just wait for the kids play pool.

Because there are only three pools and only one of the greatest, you can imagine how dense this place when the holiday season arrives.

Don’t Forget Mansinam Island

When he was in Manokwari try to ask: what an interesting place to visit. Predictably, the answer, Mansinam Island! This small island in the Gulf Doreh. If standing in Manokwari harbor or in White Sands beach resort in Manokwari, so clearly visible Mansinam Island, next door to Lemon Island.

Not too difficult to reach the island is located about six kilometers from Manokwari this land.Only took about 10-15 minutes by speed boat. Lemon passengers to the Island and Island Beach Mansinam usually wait in Kwawi (mainland Manokwari). Precisely in the front office Kwawi Klasis.

Crossing into Mansinam though spelled out briefly, but the clarity and the blue sea water in the Gulf was enough to give Doreh freshener and ignore sunburn. When standing in Kwawi, vaguely visible in Côte Mansinam inscription which marks the entry of the gospel in Papua.

The closer Mansinam Island, the inscription of the cross with a height of several feet was becoming evident. Anyone can enter the location of the inscriptions by contacting the key holder fence, Adolf Sarumi. In addition to the warning, the stele was also created to be a tourist destination and Mansinam beach, overlooking the town of Manokwari.

“Soli Deo Gloria”

At the bottom of the foot of the inscription, there are only words “soli Deo Gloria. De Eerste van Nederlandsch Nieuw Guinee Zendelingen CW En Ottow J.G. Geissler Zyn Geland hier op 5-2-1855. ” On the side of this writing, there are translations in local languages. That is, more or less, the first Protestant to the Papua-Ottow Geissler arrived here February 5, 1855.

Approximately 50 meters from the inscription, there is one church with interesting architecture.Apparently, the church still maintains the original architecture of the church which was built Geissler in 1864. This is the first church in Papua. The foundation of the original church was located in the church that stands today.

In addition to the church, there is also an old well-made Ottow Geissler when settled in Island Mansinam. The Well is still used local people to meet fresh water needs. Well water was very clean, fresh and not salty but not too far from shore. In addition to the church foundations and wells, there are also places baking of bread – just like an oven but made of cement.

At first glance Mansinam Island, no different than thousands of small islands in the homeland.Usually, a small island is not well taken care of and minimal facilities. This also applies in Mansinam Island. But it certainly does not remove all the various records the history of Papua on the island this Mansinam.

Perhaps, for the tourist will find it hard to know who-Ottow Geissler, besides writing on the inscriptions in Dutch, if both the first zending. But, if curious, you can visit Kwawi Klasis Office to obtain information on-Ottow Geissler.

The inclusion of the Gospel

When talking about the history of Papua, the Mansinam Island will become an important point, because the origin of the work zending (mission) in Papua. On this island, exactly February 5, 1885, two-werklieden zendeling (messenger carpenters) from Germany, CW Geissler Ottow and Johann Gottlob set foot for the first time in Papua.

According to the book “One Hundred Years in the Protestant West Irian” (Rev. works. FJS. Rumainum 1966), Ottow-Geissler achieve Mansinam Island after a long journey from Europe by ship Abel Tasman on June 25, 1852 via Cape of Good Hope and arrived in Batavia October 7, 1852, then sail to Makassar, Ternate, before finally arriving at Mansinam in 1885.

Attendance-Ottow Geissler Mansinam a milestone in the entry of the gospel for the first time in Papua. Both Protestant was a pioneer for the next Protestant work throughout Papua. Ottow also became the first Protestant who died and was buried in Papua, precisely in Kwawi, Manokwari. While Geissler died and was buried in Europe.

In addition to gospel, the actual number of historic events in Papua stems from a small island on the Gulf this Doreh. Because, in this island of Hope Church (Krek der Hopen) as the first church built in Papua Geissler in 1864. In this island also, for the first time Papuans Christian.

In fact, the history of education in Papua, also can not be separated from the island which now only has one elementary school (SD) of this. Match notes zending, Mrs Ottow open a school for girls in Kwawi (Manokwari) in 1857, using a room in his residence as a class.

“The Apostle of West Irian”

In addition, Geissler Mansinam also opened schools in providing language lessons Malays. In this Mansinam also recorded the first school teachers in Papua, which was founded Pdt.FJFvan Hasselt in 1917.

Various historical events etched into the island Mansinam make this island has significance for Papua, which is inscribed-Ottow Geissler.

Now the names of two people “Apostle of West Irian” was immortalized as the name of a church in the town of Manokwari. Maybe, Mansinam and destined as the historic town of Manokwari in West Papua. When traced back, first in the Government Office also stems from Manokwari Papua, which has become the Office of the Governor of West Irian Jaya.

Not only that, the Free Papua Organization (OPM) also have a history in Manokwari. Similarly, events referendum (PEPERA) 1969 took place in Manokwari. Now, the building became the Parliament Building Irjabar PEPERA. While the inscription PEPERA complex located in the Office of the Governor of West Irian Jaya, unkempt and fading.

Mansinam island, replete with the history of Papua. However, rather Sad, judging by the current arrangement Mansinam Island, which is nothing more than a pile of dirt in front of Manokwari, which is no better than age-Ottow Geissler. Why not, the first school teachers in Papua Mansinam stood, now there is only one elementary school. Junior high and high school students must cross to Manokwari Mansinam to attend school. For that, do not imagine the highway, because there is only a path.

Mansinam Island is often described as the point of a new civilization in Papua, but it does not appear in Mansinam face today. Yes, Mansinam now almost no difference with other smaller islands, although a different history. What is clear, Island Mansinam neglected or not, prayer-Ottow Geissler, “With God’s name we stepped on this land” which came out on February 5, 1855 still came out on a small island in a fairly elegant
