On the right side of the tower hill, you will see the white lines. It is a waterfall. There are many waterfalls in the area. In the distance was too island. Mount Pusuk Buhit mysterious and believed to be the origin of the Batak also appear on the left side of the tower.
Unfortunately, the glass is not maintained clean. Instead, look at the panorama comfortably, dirty glass even blocking the view. While almost every wall in the top of the tower, either in a chair or on the ceiling, filled with scribbles nosy.
In the area of this tower, too, has been expanded. But back in the pity. View Tower expansion project, was impressed so original and in discomfort. For around expansion of this area, not yet installed the security fence / barrier. Sangant so dangerous for visitors / tourists.
