Pura Ulun Danu Tempel
 This
very important Hindu-Buddhist temple was founded in
the 17th century. It is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the
goddess of the waters, and is actually built on small
islands, which means it is completely surrounded by
the lake. Pilgrimages and ceremonies are held here to
ensure that there is a supply of water for farmers all
over Bali. |
| Kebun Raya Eka Karya (Botanical
Gardens)
Kebun Raya Eka Karya is a real showplace. Established
in 1959 as a branch of the national botanical gardens
at Bogor, near Jakarta, it covers more than 154 hectares
on the lower slopes of Gunung Pohen. The garden boasts
an extensive collection of trees and flowers, including
wild orchids.
Within the park there's a new attraction sure to delight
anyone who wants to do more than just walk around
and look at pretty flowers: the Bali
Treetop Adventure Park lets you play
like a bird - or a squirrel. Winches, ropes, nets
and more let you explore the forest up to 20m above
the ground. And it's not passive: you hoist, jump,
balance and otherwise circumnavigate the park. The
different programmes are geared to different ages
and adrenalin levels!.
