Lau Debuk-debuk
The Lau Debuk-debuk hot springs are one of the most popular attraction of Berastagi. The hot springs that most tourist visit is however not Lau Debuk-debuk, but the Gunung Semangat hot springs, which sloppily is also called Lau Debuk-debuk. The real Air Panas Lau Sidebuk-debuk has 5 pools with a maximum depth of 1,85 m. Every month on a certain day, a unique traditional Karonese ceremony/event takes place here called Erpangir Kulau

Sibiru-biru
Pemandian alam Sibiru-biru is a bathing site along a relatively fast flowing river. The location is lush and there are a few stalls selling drinks and light food. The location is 1 km beyond Sibiru-biru. Air Panas Penen, 36 km from Medan, is a hot spring next to the road 500 m beyond the village of Penen. The bathing site is on the left hand side, opposite a coffee shop. The warm water contains some sulphur, the source of the hot water is app. 300 m behind the bathing site in a more natural setting, it is possible to walk there. Sampuran Putih is a very nice waterfall and sungai Seruwai is the same river as flows through Sibiru-biru and it is said to be easy to find.

Tangkahan
Hot water flows out of the riverbank opposite teh accommodation. It is a nice place to sit and let the water flow over oneself. You can walk over through the river. It is only knee deep, if it has not been raining.
There is an approximately 10 m high waterfall, a three-hour trek from Tangkahan. A guide is recommended, the trek starts behind the accommodation.

Melas Harimo
Melas Harimo is an area between Payung and Guru Kenayan with several small hot springs. The water here contains no sulphur, and is not so clear because of a sand quarry up-stream. The area is rather nice though. In the afternoons many locals come here to take a bath. There are no facilities and the springs are natural.
There are also other hot springs in North Sumatera, such as: Danau Lintang with approximately 60 metres in diameter, and Pangururan.

Sipiso-piso Waterfall
This waterfal is definitely majestic. It flows out from a small ravine, which makes it took like it flows out directly from a hole approximately 120 metres up on the vertical mountainside. The stream flows to Lake Toba. There is a viewpoint 150 metres off the road and 6 km before Tongging coming from Merek. Another more adventurous way to see the fall is to trek along the river from Tongging until the fall. It is possible to bathe below the fall. The water is clean and nice, but has passed through villages before the fall so do not drink it. From here are stairs leading up to the viewpoint. This waterfall of course has a legend, it is a long story, but in short it all happened when a dragon in the river tried to make his way to Lake Toba. During his attempts he got into a big fight with the creature that ruled in the lake. Their fight was si violent that a ravine was created. This is where the Sipiso-piso falls down today.

Pansur Napitu
Pansur Napitu is an approximately 30 m high waterfall in seven steps. According to locals, the rocks next to the fall can breathe and sometimes let out sounds. The area of the fall is considered eerie.
