The story goes that a queen and her daughter were bathing in a lake. When the strong wind blew, their clothes were carried into the water.
This incident made the lake water change color according to the color of the clothes that were submerged, adding a mystical charm to the location and becoming one of the unique Things to do in Wonosobo.
Another version tells of a nobleman who lost his crystal ring in a lake. The reflection of light from the magic ring is believed to be the cause of the lake’s water changing color.
