The Origin of Lake Maninjau

As a tourism place, Maninjau Lake is well known to many people. Its beauty is famous, not only domestically, but also abroad. It is said that the lake located in Tanjungraya District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province was once a volcanic crater. Tinjau Mountain was the name. The mountain was adjacent to two other mountains, namely Mount Merapi and Mount Singgalang.
The Mount Tinjau peak does not look tapered like Mount Merapi and Mount Singgalang do. Mount Tinjau looks sturdy and fat. At its peak there is a huge crater. Around the crater there are almost no plants growing, except for shrubs that grow between rocks.
So, why did the Gunung Tinjau crater turn into a lake? According to the owner of the story, the crater turned into a lake because it was used to punish lovebirds, Siti Rasani and Giran, who were innocent. By Bujang Sembilan (as the nine older brothers of Siti Rasani were called), the couple were accused of having committed a disgraceful act. Together with the people, Bujang Sembilan dumped the couple in the Mount Tinjau crater.
Miracles happened. The Mount Tinjau Crater suddenly overflowed, as if it was angry. The hot lava devoured all kind of forms. After subsiding, the cratercooled down, turning into a very beautiful lake. Even now, the abundance of water stops in the valleys, spreading fertility. Fish continues to breed, providing nutrition to the community. That is Lake Maninjau. Want to know the detail of the story? Please read the story book entitled The Origin of Lake Maninjau by yourself.
