Candi Gatotkaca
A single 8th-century Hindu temple southwest of the Arjuna Complex, which can be visited together with the museum across the road.
Candi Gatotkaca is one of the more intact temples in the Dieng complex, also built around the 8th century, and named after Gatotkaca, a hero of wayang. The stone temple sits on a grassy hillock, with simply carved bases and lintels, surrounded by farmland and mountain views, and it is quieter than the main temple group. Next door is the Dieng Plateau Museum, which displays statues unearthed from the temples. It lies on the road from Dieng village to the Sikidang Crater, about 5 to 10 minutes' walk from the Arjuna Complex, and usually no separate ticket is needed.
