Dieng Plateau

|
Dieng Volcanic Complex (also called the Dieng Plateau ) is a complex volcano. A complex volcano is an extensive assemblage of spatially, temporally, and genetically related major and minor volcanic centers with the associated lava flows and pyroclastic rocks. This is another place worth visiting in Central Java, situated around 2000 m above sea level and 100 km from Borobudur. This area northwest of Yogyakarta is in the volcanic mountains and over 2,000 meters elevation. The name "Dieng" means "abode of the god". There the visitor can find restarted temples build around year 800, colorful lakes and steaming ones. On the road we will see how the farmers use all the land available by using terraces. It"s also fresher up here and we are almost above the clouds. |
