Batur & Kintamani
The villages of Batur and Kintamani now virtually the entire run. Kintamani is famous for its large and colorful market is held every three
Day. It starts very early and 11's all over. If you do not want to go hiking, watch the sunrise Viewed from the road here is very good. The original village of Batur was in Crater, but was destroyed by an eruption of violence 1917. There, thousands of people killed before
the lava flow stopped at the entrance to the Village main temple.
Taking this as a good omen, the village has been rebuilt, but he returned to Gunung Batur 1926th This time, covered the lava flow of everything --
this sanctuary, with the exception of the highest temple.
Fortunately, there have been some evacuations and People have been killed. The village was moved to on the edge of the crater, and the shrine survivor
has also been established and there and in the new temple, Pura Batur
Spiritually, Gunung Batur is the second most important mountain in Bali (only Gu-nung Agung outranks it) so this temple is of considerable importance. It's a great stop as there are always a few colourful mountain characters hanging around. Within the com- plex is a Taoist shrine.
