A guide is now obligatory, even though the walk around the lake is not that difficult to find. The lake is very nice turquoise color, formed according to our guide not that long ago in geological terms. Still, it seems assumed that the volcano is no longer active. Have a look from the rim to the surrounding area, you can easily see the black soil, much more fertile, from the last eruption. Then walk down to the lake and around the crater lake. There is a place where one can touch the water, but only if you did not yet eat pork that day. Nearby is also a place were locals still sacrifice things to the lake, which is considered holy. During our walk we saw several birds, including a peregrine falcon. The trees are European conifers, and thus not at all local, still the place is pittoresque. Bring good shoes as some parts could be slippery. Further, although it is possible to bike up to the lake, that is an arduous trek up hill (and it is hot), without much scenery along the way.

This church is really worth a visit!! The glass windows and the wooden carvings hanging in between each window showing Jesus on Golgotha and how he was taken down from the cross etc. We really enjoyed and appreciated spending time there!
