Lake Menjer
Dieng

The Dieng Plateau  is an area in the center of Central Java that has geological, historical, and agricultural characteristics that are considered unique. 

This plateau is at an altitude of between 2000 and 2590 meters above sea level (MDPL) flanked by a range of hills on the north and south sides, which originate from the same volcanic activity and are called the Dieng Mountains.

The Dieng Mountains themselves are geographically located between the Rogojembangan Peak complex to the west and the pair of Mount Sindoro and Mount Sumbing to the east.

Roughly speaking, the Dieng Plateau area occupies an area measuring 4–6 km wide (north–south) and 11 km long (west–east).

JOGJA

When I had several hours in Jogja, I visited Situs Warungboto.

It was originally a royal retreat and bathing complex built by Sultan Hamengku Buwono II while he was still crown prince, with construction starting around 1785.
