Sumur Jalatunda
A circular volcanic pit about 90 meters across, its water pooled at the bottom like a giant well, where visitors throw stones across to make wishes.
Sumur Jalatunda is a circular deep pit formed by a volcanic eruption, with steep walls covered in vegetation and deep green water at the bottom, like a giant well. Climb about 250 steps to the viewing platform at the rim to look down. Local legend says that if you can throw a stone across the water to the far side, your wish will come true, and vendors at the entrance sell small pebbles. The walls are steep, so do not climb over the railings. It is located in the western part of the Dieng Plateau, about 10 km from Dieng village and not far from Kawah Sileri.
