Burni Pepylon - A Beautiful Place to See the City and the Lake

English
Hello community, have a nice day... this is my contribution post for the Worldmappin community, I am very happy to share travel content in this amazing community. Confession: honestly, this post was created manually and originally by myself. The writing is based on facts, arguments, and my personal experience in developing narratives for blogs that focus on travel topics.
Our morning drive took us to a beautiful place. I said to my wife, "We're going up, to a beautiful place." The hustle and bustle of the city faded away, and we began to enter higher ground. A gentle breeze began to blow on the bright morning as the sun was just rising.
Fortunately, the road leading to this place was paved, making it very easy to navigate. Surrounding the road were towering hills with rocky soil. At the corners of the road, several types of spruce and pine trees flourished. Some areas of residents' gardens were planted with tomatoes and chilies. We continued driving along the village road.


Soon, we reached a quiet road, leaving the village behind. From a distance, a small expanse of land appeared to welcome us. This was the peak of Burni Pepylon, one of the best peaks for viewing the city center from a height of over 200 meters. To reach this point, we had to leave the city for about 15 minutes by motorbike.
Located right in Jongok Bathin village, Kebayakan District, Takengon, it's not far from the Mendale Bay tourist attraction, which sits on the edge of the lake. The gentle breeze made the pine trees sway in unison, creating a cool and serene atmosphere. Although this place is incredibly beautiful, not many tourists know about it.

On that day, it was just the two of us, and I was very happy with the quiet. It allowed us to enjoy the scenery more leisurely. Even one of the food stalls in the area was closed. We regretted not bringing food.
The panoramic beauty is truly breathtaking. This small area has several chairs deliberately placed by the landowner. Neatly arranged stones serve as chairs, relaxing places to gaze at the beautiful natural scenery. From here, I felt a cool atmosphere, full of peace and tranquility. It was a good place to reflect and escape from the boredom and busyness of life.

Right before us, we gazed at the beautiful lake, reflecting the rising sun. The lake's water was a sparkling blue, flanked by mountains and clouds. Here, we could see further, including a panoramic view of the lake from various angles. Surrounded by mountain ranges, it created a beautiful blend of natural colors, reminiscent of a painting I once saw in elementary school.
We thoroughly enjoyed walking around every corner to get a better look at this beautiful panorama. From the east, the beautiful lake was displayed naturally, enchanting and a feast for the eyes. To the south, I could see the city center; it was a breathtaking sight. Rows of houses and buildings lined up like a miniature city.


Wow... it made us even more amazed, as we heard the sound of birds chirping. From this peak, we experienced a sense of tranquility and an unforgettable experience. Although we have explored many high places, this peak offered a different experience, allowing us to see from a more beautiful angle. Especially when the weather was clear like this, we were treated to a stunning and awe-inspiring view.
And most importantly, I didn't spend a single cent to get here; it was absolutely free. However, if you want to come here, just order from this stall. If they're open, ordering food or drinks is a must. We sat in silence, deeply enjoying this beauty. We chatted occasionally, praising God's dazzling creation.





Well, I feel like I want to stay here for a while, or maybe we could build a house or homestay on top of it. That's a dream everyone desires: to enjoy a peaceful old age in this beautiful natural setting. Takengon truly has every corner of the beautiful tourist attraction, each with its own unique view and impression. Surely, everyone will fall in love with the beauty of our city.

Perjalanan dengan berkendara ketika pagi itu membawa kami ketempat yang indah. Saya berkata kepada istri saya, "kita akan naik ke atas, ketempat yang indah". Suara hiruk pikuk kota kian berlalu dari keriuhan, kami mulai memasuki wilayah yang lebih tinggi. Hembusan angin sepoi-sepoi mulai terasa di pagi yang cerah ketika matahari baru saja beranjak meninggi.
Yang menyenangkan adalah untungnya jalan menuju ke tempat ini sudah di aspal, jadi sangat mudah di lalui oleh kendaraan. Di sekitar perjalanan perbukitan menjulang tinggi dengan tanah tekstur bebatuan. Di sudut jalan beberapa jenis pohon cemara dan pinus tumbuh subur. Beberapa area kebun warga ditanami sayuran tomat dan cabai, kami terus berkendara menelusuri jalan perkampungan.


Tak lama kemudian kami mulai tiba dijalan yang sepi, meninggalkan perkampungan. Dari kejauhan sebuah area tanah yang tidak begitu luas tampak terlentang menyambut kedatangan kami. Ini adalah puncak Burni Pepylon, salah satu puncak terbaik untuk melihat pusat kota dari ketinggian di atas 200 meter. Untuk mencapai tempat ini, kami harus beranjak dari kota sekitar 15 menit perjalanan menggunakan sepeda motor.
Berada tepat di desa Jongok Bathin, Kecamatan Kebayakan, Takengon. Termasuk tidak jauh dari lokasi wisata teluk mendale yang berada di pinggir danau. Suara hembusan angin sepoi-sepoi membuat pohon-pohon pinus bergoyang seirama, membawa suasana sejuk dan tenang. Meski tempat ini sangat indah, tapi tidak banyak wisatawan luar yang tau keberadaan lokasi ini.

Pada hari itu saja, hanya ada kami berdua, aku sangat senang dengan keadaan yang sepi. Karena itu membuat kami dapat menikmati pemandangan dengan lebih santai. Bahkan salah satu warung yang berada di area ini, mereka juga sedang tutup. Kami merasa menyesal tidak membawa makanan.
Keindahan panorama yang sangat menakjubkan, area yang tidak begitu luas ini terdapat beberapa kursi yang diletakkan secara sengaja oleh pemilik lahan. Batu-batu yang disusun rapi dijadikan sebagai kursi, tempat bersantai untuk menatap indahnya pemandangan alam. Dari sini aku merasakan suasana yang sejuk, penuh kedamaian dan ketenangan jiwa. Menjadi tempat yang baik untuk merefleksi dan keluar dari kejenuhan dan kesibukan.

Tepat dihadapan kami, kami memandang danau yang indah dengan pantulan sinar matahari merekah. Warna air danau tampak biru kemilau, di apit oleh pegunungan dan kabut awan. Disini kita dapat melihat lebih jauh, termasuk pandangan luas untuk melihat danau dari berbagai sudut panorama. Dikelilingi oleh deretan pegunungan, membuat perpaduan warna alam yang indah secara alami, seperti sebuah lukisan yang pernah kulihat ketika waktu di sekolah dasar jaman dulu.
Kami sangat menikmati, berjalan dan mengelilingi setiap sudut untuk melihat lebih jelas panorama yang indah ini. Dari arah timur, danau yang indah terpampang dengan natural, itu sangat mempesona dan memanjakan mata. Di bagian selatan saya dapat melihat pusat kota, itu pemandangan yang menakjubkan. Deretan rumah dan bangunan tersusun bagaikan sebuah miniatur tata kota.


Woow... itu membuat kami semakin takjub, sekali terdengar suara kicauan burung. Dari atas puncak ini kami mendapatkan ketenangan dan pengalaman yang tidak terlupakan. Meskipun ada banyak tempat tinggi yang telah kami jelajah, tapi puncak ini memberikan kesan yang berbeda, kami melihat dari sudut yang lebih indah. Terlebih ketika cuaca cerah seperti ini, kami mendapatkan pemandangan yang memukau dan bikin takjub.
Dan yang terpenting adalah, untuk mencapai tempat ini, saya tidak mengeluarkan uang sepersenpun, itu gratis secara cuma-cuma. Namun, jika kalian ingin datang kesini, cukup memesan di warung ini saja, itu jika mereka sedang buka, menjadi hal yang wajib untuk memesan makanan atau minuman. Kami duduk berdiam, menikmati secara lebih mendalam tentang keindahan ini. Sesekali mengobrol dengan santai sembari memuji ciptaan tuhan yang mempesona mata kami.





Yah, rasanya aku ingin berlama-lama ditempat ini, atau mungkin kita bisa membangun rumah/homestay di atas ini. Itu adalah impian yang tentu diinginkan semua orang, menikmati masa tua dengan tenang di alam yang indah ini. Takengon memang memiliki setiap sudut wisata yang indah dengan versi yang berbeda. Setiap sudut terdapat pemandangan dan kesan tersendiri, tentu semua orang akan jatuh cinta dengan keindahan kota kami.
