In addition to the legend of Lake Toba, it turns out there is one that is quite mystical land that is Legend Hanging Rock Naidoo. It is said that the stone hanging around the area was prohibited from issuing rant and indecent or be unlucky.
With a speed boat ride from the shore of Samosir Island, we were invited by the driver of the speed boat to see the hanging rock. Because of the high curiosity, we also want when asked to pull over on a cliff at the side of Lake Toba.
The cliff has a height of 20-30 meters from the lake and at the edge of the cliff we can see a stone that hangs on the cliff side. This is where all the myths or legends of rock hanging stems.
It is said that long ago there was a beautiful girl in Parapat, by both her parents she wanted an arranged marriage by a young man. What warning, the heart of the girl had been tied by another young man who became his idol. He rejected calls to parents to marry someone else and prefer her idol.
Embarrassed already said no to her parents, the girl was so moody and feel sorry for the parents as a byword in their village. After returning from the fields, the girl did not go home, but prefer pensively at the edge of Lake Toba, accompanied by her pet dog called the Gipul.
When night falls, the girl went home with an empty mind. Without realizing it, he does not see a big hole in the road, then mired fall into the hole. The dog when he saw his master fell, he barked to ask for help from others.
In the pits, the girl would prefer to die rather than endure the shame for refusing to cover others. He shouted from the pit, "Merapatlah..merapatlah."
The pit wall was docked and bury the girl. Not long ago, there was an earthquake. Land around Lake Toba fall, leaving only a pile of stones where the hole in the girl. The hanging stone resembles a human being.
It is said that in the area of the hanging rocks, visitors are prohibited from issuing harsh words and obscene because it will bring bad luck. At the base of the cliff, there is also a hole supposedly inhabited by creatures Bunian. Each festival lasts Toba, some traditional leaders give offerings under a rock hanging and in small cave where Bunian creatures originated.
