Dieng plateu
Dieng, a volcanic site (also called the Dieng Plateau) located in Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia. This is another place worth visiting in Central Java, situated around 2000 m above sea level and 100 km from
The name "Dieng" means "abode of the gods." The visitor can find restarted temples built around 800 masehi, colorful lakes and steaming ones. On the road we will see how the farmer use all the land available by using terraces. It's also fresher up there and almost above the clouds. The plateau, located 2,093 meters above sea level, offers two sunrises, the golden sunrise and the silver one. They are such an amazing natural phenomena. The golden sunrise refers to the first sunrise between 5:30 and 6 a.m. It is said to be golden because of its sparkling golden red color.
Walk about 10 minutes (about two kilometers) to the southeast of the temples, there is a colorful lake. From the top of a hill, the lake reflects a greenish yellow color, the reflection of the sulfate acid that the lake water contains. Beside this colorful lake there is another lake with pristine water. Locals call it the mirror lake because the water is very clear.
There is also small monuments here, which are not more than 50 feet high stand on a crater floor amidst sulfurous fumes. It is located about four hours from Semarang. In this site, the visitor will see some of the oldest Hindu temples of Java.
On the way to the Dieng Plateau, visitors will pass through tobacco plantations and beautiful mountain scenery. Such a wonderful creature...
