Telaga Warna is a small lake which is the famous icon of Dieng Plateau Area and also the famous tourist site in Dieng Plateau Area. The name is coming from the color of its surface. When another lake generally have only one color on its surface, the Telaga Warna have many colors, such as blue, green, and gray, so it is Telaga = Lake; Warna = Color. The location of this small lake is in Dieng village, Banjarnegara regency. It is near from Dieng Plateau Theater, Sikidang Crater’s, and also Dieng Temple Site.
To get there, we can choose many different ways, such as through official gate, through Dieng Plateau Theater (DPT) and through Jojogan village. The official gate can be reached from the T-intersection of Dieng road; you just need to turn left. Through that road you can see several inns and also there’s a pretty mosque which is the architecture is like a Moscow building in Russia. On the right side of road you can see Dieng Temple Site too. And finally the officially gate is in the left side of the road.
The second way is through DPT which is can be reached when you follow the road after the gate of Telaga Warna. DPT building is in above hill, the architecture is pretty unique. Across the DPT building we can see an area belong to PT Geo Dipa Energy Dieng, a power plant company which uses a geothermal energy. In DPT you can also watch a documenter movie about Dieng Plateau Area. But don’t forget to visit Telaga Warna by a lane behind the DPT building which down the hill. The lane is a downstairs, so don’t worry to get tired.
The last way is the most personal way, because it’s a village footpath. Jojogan village is a village which is on the northeast of Telaga Warna. When you get confused to this footpath, you can ask the villagers. And always take care because the wind sometime makes a tree which surrounding lake falls down. There’s a lot of fell tree on the side of lake. But it’s make a lake more beautiful, it’s the most favorite place to get a picture. Prove it please.
