Dieng Volcanic Complex

The Dieng Volcanic Complex spans 14 kilometers in length and 6 kilometers in width, containing over 20 craters and multiple volcanic cones at 2565 meters elevation.

During the 7th century, the ancient Hindu Kingdom of Mataram established settlements across the Dieng Plateau, constructing temples near the volcanic formations.

The Arjuna Temple complex, consisting of several stone structures from the 7th century, represents the earliest Hindu architectural elements discovered in Java.

Visitors access the complex through roads from Wonosobo, with temperatures ranging significantly lower than surrounding areas due to the high altitude location.

The Sikidang Crater produces continuous streams of sulfuric gas and contains pools of boiling mud, demonstrating the intense geothermal activity beneath the surface.
