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.
