Another place worth
visiting in Central Java is the Dieng Plateau, situated around
2000 m above sealevel and 100 km from Borobudur. There you can
find resturated temles build around year 800, colourful lakes and
steaming ones. On the road you will see how the farmer use all
the land available by using terrases. Its also fresher up here
and you are almost above the clouds.
