|  | dieng plateau, is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the dieng active volcano complex, and the closest city to reach this gorgeous place is from wonosobo, Central Java. it's suggested to leave wonosobo and heading to dieng really early in the morning so you can catch the sunrise from one of the peak. or if you miss the time a bit you still can enjoy the funtastic morning scenery along the way to get there.
there are a lot of things to be seen in dieng, the first spot best seen in the morning is the stunningly beautiful 'danau warna' the colored lake. from the higher level you can see the lake is divided in two, one bigger to the other with two different colors; greenish and bluish.
clear sky, almost...
then you can move on to see the 'sikidang crater', deer crater is the translation. the crater is rather unique because within the major crater u'll find some minors crater that constantly moving or 'hoping' around just like a deer, i think that's how the local got the name from.
dieng is also known for it's historic sites, some 400, 7 to 8th century temples were built all around this site, but however only 8 temples has been suceeded to be restored. if you are adventurous enough you can get to dieng from wonosobo by public transport, a van cluttered with local carrying baskets of crops and farming tools. arrived in dieng you can take 'ojek' a motor ride for rp. 50.000 (us$6) for short trip or rp. 100.000 (us$11) for further trip. but the rate might slightly be different for foreigners. if you wish to stay, motels or home-stays available from rp. 50k to rp. 200k /nite. |
