Lake Bosumtwi

Lake Bosumtwi is a large crater-lake some 32 km south-east of Kumasi, Ghana. It's the largest natural lake in Ghana, approximately 8 km across. The lake is popular as a recreational area, as it is safe to swim in it. There are several small villages around the lake.

Bosumtwi is a sacred lake to the Ashanti. According to traditional beliefs, the souls of the dead come here to bid farewell to their god Twi.
