Twobirdsbreakingfree's video: STEAMING VOLCANIC CRATERS MULTICOLOURED LAKES Dieng Plateau Java Indonesia

The Dieng Plateau in Java Island, Indonesia, is THE place to visit if you're interested in active volcanic craters, beautiful multi-coloured lakes, ancient Hindu temples or just wanting to escape the heat of lowland Indonesia. The word Dieng comes from Di Hyang, which means 'Abode of the Gods'. This marshy upland plateau (2000m above sea level) is fascinating to explore and features many fascinating attractions for travellers. Dieng is famous for its active volcanic craters, which emit thick clouds steam and sulphurous fumes into the air. You must not miss the Sikidang Crater or the Sileri Crater as these two are awesome. Dieng is also famous for its ancient hindu temples which originate form the Kalingga Kingdom and date back to the 7th century. The best place to see these is at the Arjuna Hindu Temple Complex where you can see several temples in one site , although there are a few more scattered around the area. The multicoloured Telaga Warna or 'Coloured Lake' can present a variety of different colours including yellow, green, turquoise, blue and other colours, depending on the weather conditions and sulphur content. You can climb to viewpoints above the lake for extraordinary views and wonderful photographs. Dieng Plateau is also famous for agriculture and a lot of potatoes, cabbages, eggplants and other vegetables are grown here. Some native children, born in the Dieng Plateau region have a mysterious condition in which their hair naturally grows in a matted or tangled manner and the tangles cannot be removed with a comb. We didn't get to meet any such children unfortunately. Locations in the video from the Dieng Plateau include: Telaga Warna (coloured lake), Arjuna Hindu Temple Complex, Sikidang Crater, Sileri Crater, Chandradimuka Crater, Nila Lake and Sumur Jalatunda (100m deep hole filled with water).
