Bukit Kasih


Bukit Kasih or “Mountain of Love” which was created by a president. In accordance with the legend of the Minahasan Tribe, this is the place where the ancestor of Minahasan “Toar Lumimuut” died. Upon the mountain are five religious places of worship – Buddhist and Hindu temples, a Mosque, a Protestant Church and a Catholic Church. At the very top of the mountain is a large cross which can be reached by climbing 1000 steps. it was an incredible view – mountains, and Lake Tondano. After the trek down the other side of the mountain, where they have the stations of the cross we stopped by the hot springs for a much earned rest. That is Regina's brother, Gerald, who climbed up to the top with me.
