The famous icon of Dieng Plateau Area is the Dieng Temple Site which placed in Dieng Wetan village, in Banjarnegara regency. This place abutted on Dieng Kulon village, in Wonosobo regency. This site is prominent and seen from the main road, and it is easy to find, insurable to not get lost. The scenery is pretty, as long as road we can see a tree and a yellow flower. This place also cleans and even the grass is put right. First time of course you can see Arjuna Temple Site. This site last have restoration at July 28, 2008 and legitimated by Minister of Culture and Tourism at that time Ir. Jero Wacik , SE. This temple site has a temple on east site that is Arjuna-Srikandi Temple, Puntadewa Temple, and Sembrada Temple, and west site that is Semar Temple and Arjuna Temple itself. Except that, that is another temple but unfortunately not in fit condition. This Dieng Temple Site is a Hindus temple, tall and slight, remembering us with another Hindus temple such as Prambanan Temple.
Beside that is Bima Temple and Gatotkaca Temple. Those two temples have a location near Dieng Temple Site. Gatotkaca Temple located in above hill and from here we can see Balekambang small lake. This small lake surrounded by potato field villagers, and likely not become a tourism object. Bima Temple located in near an open gate of Sikidang Crater’s. This temple still in a good condition and the area surrounding is also clean and beautiful. Beside a temple, this site also has a museum, so you can have a lot of temple knowledge.
And when you like to visit Sikidang Crater’s, you just walk through a gate near Bima Temple. In that road you can see a huge pipes belonged to PT Geo Dipa Energy unit Dieng, a power plant company that use geothermal energy. And better get ready because the distance from the open gate until the centre of crater is quite far. So that is the Dieng Temple Site and another place to visit nears that site. Enjoy please.
