Favorite thing: Swimming in lake Toba is an amazing experience. The water is pleasantly cool and the vegetation around is green and lush.
No special precautions, but take care of the slippery rocks when you walk in and out of the water and do not forget that lake Toba is the deepest lake in the world with more than 450 mt depth in some points.
