The best view is from Penelokan, a little to the west around the
crater from Kintamani, and from where one can see the cone of Mount
Batur smoldering away and the black traces of its explosion on the
landscape of the crater.
A rather treacherous road leads from Penelokan down the crater to
Toyah Bungkah, where soothing hot springs on the edge of the crater
lake have recently been tapped off to create a magnificent spa complex.
