Gunung Tujuh Lake (Kerinci lake) is a lake located in the crater of Mount Tujuh in Jambi, Indonesia.
Gunung Tujuh Lake 1996 meter above sea level. which is the highest peat lake over the southeast Asia. Apparently there's a story about a princess that drowned in the river, something about love (as expected). Whatever that's in the river really creeped me out.
Gunung Tujuh is a lake that developed from caldera lake of 960 hectares, located at an altitude of 1,996 metres, which made it as the highest lake in Southeast Asia and surrounded on all sides by the very steep and forested slopes of Gunung Tujuh.
Gunung Tujuh is a volcano that has seven (tujuh) peaks those surround the Lake Gunung Tujuh,with the highest peak is 2,732 metres.
The lake measures about 4.5 kilometres long by three kilometres wide, and the greatest depth recorded is 40 metres.
It is located within the Kerinci Seblat National Park, and administratively it lies in Gunung Kerinci District (Kecamatan).
Kerinci Lake is probably one of the few remaining large, undisturbed lakes in Sumatra, and although it is biologically not very rich, in terms of geomorphology and aesthetic values it is very unusual.
