Kentur Lokon, Stratovolcano in Tomohon City, Indonesia

Mount Lokon rises 1,580 meters above the Tondano plain, featuring a flat summit and the active Tompaluan crater between its twin peaks.

The volcano has recorded eruptions since 1375, with a significant event in 1991 leading to the death of a Swiss hiker and local evacuations.

The mountain's name translates to Mountain of Rice Fields, reflecting the agricultural traditions of North Sulawesi's communities in the surrounding fertile lands.

The hiking trail starts from Tomohon at 800 meters elevation, following a former lava flow path that requires approximately three hours to reach the crater.

The summit contains a cement trig point of Dutch construction, offering views of Gunung Klabat, Bunaken islands, and Soputan volcano on clear days.
