Telaga Jer is the widest lake at the foot of the Dieng mountains. The depth of Menjer Lake reaches 45 meters.

The location is in the north of the city of Wonosobo with a distance of about 8 KM from the city center. Menjer Lake was formed from the eruption of Mount Pakuwaja which was once active. Before the eruption of the volcano, this place was just a small spring. This lake became deeper and wider with the construction of the dam. In addition to being a tourist spot, this lake is also used for hydroelectric power plants with the construction of a dam in that place. The dam is now managed by the Garung hydropower plant. The dam in Menjer Lake already existed and was built during the Dutch colonial era. Even though it is old, the dam is still standing strong and can still function today.
