Telaga Menjer lies on the outer slopes of the Dieng Plateau and is the largest lake of the region. People tend to pass it by, but it lies actually on an alternative route between Wonosobo and Dieng.
The water of the lake is green of algae. On the steep slopes grow pine-trees almost to the water's edge. Fish-cages are anchored along part of the borders.
The lake functions as a reservoir for a hydro-electric power plant. A wide green duct runs beside the road up from Garung.
For Rp 100,000 you may hire a boat for a tour around the lake. Ask them to stop at a shore you like.
You may also walk a path for about a quarter anti-clockwise around the lake, and back.

Directions: Telaga Menjer is halfway between Wonosobo and Dieng. Coming from below, take the indicated turnoff at Garung; from there it is 2,5 km. Coming from above, turn right at Kejajar and follow the winding road for 6 km.
