Hidden among the rows of hills at an altitude of over 2000 meters above sea level does not make a quiet lake color of the visitors. Beauty and mystique always attract anyone been to Dieng. Enter through the main gate, greeted by a path that has been enhanced by paving block with a dense forest on either side. Culminate in a fork, lake lay in front of the eye color. Green water in it was composed, not rippling at all. Wild bird and thick forests that remain intact presents a reassuring atmosphere of peace.

Follow the road that branched off to the right, find a way intersection again. Good road leading to the canal "Semar cave

" and a muddy trail. Moved by curiosity, we took a dirt path straight ahead. Jumping on slippery ground the former rain last night, we fought hard to avoid the lands of black muddy muddy. And there appeared a large meadow which is reminiscent of the film Little House on the Prairie. Although time is in doubt, we kept walking. Voila, suddenly appeared in front of a lake the other eye. The water was very clear that any reflection is on it. Well, there seemed to differ in nature. Whether there are good roads where, in yonder meadow, and tall trees over here.

Although fascinated by the beauty of this crystal clear lake, but the desire to explore the lake that supposedly color colorful surface eventually brought back to the first lake. This time the exploration is done by following the path that leads to the left. In some places the surface seemed a bubbling pond and remove small bubbles. Apparently sulfur content in the water are the cause. But unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the entire surface of the lake remain green without a touch of other colors.

Apparently there is a trick to enjoying the beauty of this lake. At the back door there is an uphill path towards one of the hills bordering the lake. This dirt road is very narrow, just enough to pass one person. Slope is not so steep, but pretty slick considering the Dieng area frequently hit by rain. A few hundred meters climb, reached the top of the hill with views that will make anyone spellbound. Down below, lay a beautiful lake surrounded by the color of the thick forest. The water in the lake a beautiful purple color, with shades of green in the middle, and pale green in the center of the lake. In the end there, a narrow meadow that separates the lake was crystal clear lake is often called Pengilon or lake that can be used to look in the mirror. Distant future, the line of hills and Mount Mount Prau Pakuwaja lined turning, as if forming a posse to protect these two beautiful lake of anyone who wants to ruin it.
