The two lakes
Two different colours.
A viewpoint on rocky outcrops atop a hill looking straight down on colourful Telaga Warna and mirror-like Telaga Pengilon; its name means the rock of the wind's lament, for the sound of the wind between the rocks. From it comes Dieng's most famous view: two neighbouring lakes of different colours among green hills. Visitors climb a short stairway to the rocks and viewing platforms, and a small suspension bridge between two rocks costs extra for those who love adventure and photos. Food and hot-drink stalls cluster around the entrance. The ticket is a token fee, with the suspension bridge separate. The ground can be slippery, so take care on the rocks. Visit after Telaga Warna at a sunny midday to see the colours clearly; half an hour to an hour is enough.
