Dieng plateau is like a cluster of large volcanoes and in the region spread hundreds of craters both big and small.

Dieng name is derived from the Sanskrit is "in", which means place, and "Hyang" which means god creator. Overall Dieng can be interpreted as the abode of the gods. While the people around often means that Dieng derived from the word "edi" which means beautiful in the Java language, and "aeng" which means strange. In other words Dieng is a beautiful place but it has a lot of peculiarities.
