Dieng Plateau is an active volcanic region in Central Java, which entered the district of Banjarnegara and Wonosobo. It lies to the west of Mount Sindoro complex and Sumbing.
Dieng has the average altitude is about 2,000 m above sea level. Temperatures range from 12-20 ° C in daytime and 6-10 ° C at night. In the dry season (July and August), temperatures can reach 0 ° C in the morning and bring frost locals called bun upas ("dew poison") for causing damage to agricultural crops.
Administratively, the Dieng divided into Dieng Kulon Village area, District Batur, Banjarnegara and Dieng ("Dieng Wetan"), District Kejajar, Wonosobo regency. This region is one of the most remote regions in Central Java.
Dieng name comes from the combination of two words Kawi: "on" which means "place" or "mountain" and "Hyang" which means (God). Thus, Dieng means mountainous region where the gods and goddesses residing.Teori other states, Dieng name is derived from the Sundanese language ("in hyang") as estimated in the pre-Medang (around the 7th century AD) the area was under the influence political Galuh Kingdom.
Dieng plateau (DTD) is a plateau with volcanic activity below the surface, like Yellowstone or the Tengger Highlands. Indeed, it is the caldera with the mountains surrounding the edges. There are many craters as where the discharge of gas, water vapor and various other volcanic material. This situation is very dangerous for the people who inhabit the region, evidenced by the catastrophic eruption of gas crater Sinila 1979. Not only poisonous gas, but it also may be possible earthquakes, mud eruptions, landslides, and floods.
In addition to craters, there are also volcanic lakes containing water mixed with sulfur that has a distinctive color greenish yellow.
In biology, the volcanic activity in Dieng interesting because it is found in the hot-water near the crater of some species of thermophilic bacteria ("like it hot") that can be used to reveal the beginning of life on earth.
Active crater at Dieng is a crater the volcanic activity below the plateau. Monitoring activities are conducted by PVMBG through Dieng Observation Post in the District Karangtengah. Here are the active craters were monitored:

Active crater at Dieng is a crater the volcanic activity below the plateau. Monitoring activities are conducted by PVMBG through Dieng Observation Post in the District Karangtengah. Here are the active craters were monitored:
- Candradimuka
- Sibanteng The Bull is located in the village of Dieng Kulon. This crater phreatic erupted in January 2009 (15/1), leading to the tourist area of Dieng had to be closed several days in anticipation of gas poisoning disaster. The eruption of the mud came up to 2km, Perhutani forest damage in surrounding areas, causing landslides that block the Putih River, a tributary of Serayu.Sibanteng crater had also erupted in July 2003.
- Siglagah
- Sikendang, potentially toxic gases
- Sikidang
Sikidang is a crater in the DTD most popular with tourists because it is most easily achieved. The crater is famous for gas discharge hole is always moved in a wide area. From this character derives its name because the locals see it move like a deer (deer in Javanese).
- Sileri
Sileri is the most active crater and has erupted several times (based on records: 1944, 1964, 1984, July 2003 and September 2009). At last phreatic activity (26 September 2009) appeared three slits new crater accompanied by jets of material as high as 200 meters.
- Sinila, potentially toxic gases
Sinila located between the village of Batur, Sumberejo and Pekasiran Village, District Batur. Sinila crater had erupted on the morning of 1979, [4] exactly 20 February 1979. The quake caused makes people ran out of the house, but they were trapped toxic gases out of the crater Weigh due Sinila triggered the eruption. [5] A number of residents (149 soul) and livestock died of poison gas carbon dioxide is released and spread to residential areas.
- Timbang, potentially toxic gases
- Timbang is a crater that is located near Sinila and active medium. Although less active, this crater is a highly concentrated source of CO2 gas which takes hundreds of victims in 1979. The crater was last recorded increased activity in May 2011 with belching white smoke as high as 20 meters, emit CO2 in concentrations exceeding safety levels (1.000 ppm, normal concentration in the air close to 400 ppm) and raises volcanic earthquakes [6]. On May 31, 2011 morning, the crater was re-releasing CO2 gas until it reaches 1% v / v (100,000 ppm) accompanied by tremors. As a result of all the activity within a radius of 1 km are prohibited and Hamlet and Hamlet Serang Simbar evacuated.
- Sumbing (3,387 m)
- Sindoro (3,150 m)
- Prahu mountain (2,565 m)
- Pakuwaja mountain (2,595 m)
- Sikunir mountain (2,463 m), tourist attractions, near Sembungan
- Telaga Warna, a tourist attraction with a nearby persemadian
- Tadpole pond, near the tourist village Sembungan
- Telaga Merdada
