Menjer Lake is located in the village of Maron, district Garung, Wonosobo,
Central Java. This lake is about 2 km from the capital district. Named for the
village of Maron Menjer Lake is actually a new village which was once the
village area Menjer.
Menjer Lake is a lake formed by a volcanic eruption at the foot of Mount Pakuwaja. Once water in the lake was only of a few small springs around the lake and also rely on fairly high rainfall in this region. In the Dutch colonial era to be built hydropower Garung below the lake, the river Serayu made dams partially located in the northern village of Bigfoot. Then flowed through underground tunnels along the ± 7 km below PT Tambi tea plantation located in parts of the village and Tlogo Kreo. To drain the water from this pond to the hydropower, made dams small portion of the lake and below installed pipes with diameter to ± 3m toward hydropower within approximately 2 km.
Told of yore there were two girls were gathering vegetables in the fields.
Suddenly there came a giant crab approached. They were amazed at how big and height
of the animal. Oblivious to the message parents say that when he is out in the
field and then see or encounter something unfamiliar or awkward they were asked
to quickly leave the place and do not interfere or disturb him, one of the
girls approached and wiped it while astonishment, and kagetlah they see it.
Forms of this lake is getting into increasingly smaller cone
(steamer-Javanese) or trumpet. At the lake occasionally seen a big fish with no
size limit. Some people also witnessed sometimes seen someone walking on the
lake.
Menjer Lake is located adjacent to the village of Maron, Menjer, and Tlogo.
In the western part of the lake there is a big tree merges with
cobblestone-like backrest and among rocks there are holes like doors that were
closed three stones. If the stone is opened, we see the springs in the grooves
like a tub of approximately 3 m2 breadth and usually called goa Song Kamal.
Many people came to take water from there for various purposes, and has
become a public trust around the village that if they see the water level is
high, it becomes a sign of coming prosperity for the people of the village.
Meanwhile, if the water level is reduced / low tide, it indicates there are
things to watch
