In the north east of Iran, just 17 kilometers from the city of Rasht, there is a forest which is one of the oldest forest fields of Gilan province called the Saravan forest. This forest has various plant species which is not only rare in Iran, but also across the world.
What does Saravan Forest Park look like?
This forest park covers an area of 1487 hectors and stands up to 250 meters above sea level. About 70 years ago this park was part of the Saravan forests until 300 hectors of its land was turned into this forest park. At this time a large part of the area consists of coniferous trees that were cut down and used after reaching the age of harvest.
If you’re the kind of person who prefers driving on beautiful roads, then be sure to head to the Saravan forest park, the color of the trees that change by each season will be an experience of a lifetime.
How is Saravan Forest Park different?
atWhat sets Saravan park apart from other forest parks in Iran is its lake. Upon arriving you will see a spectacular view of the lake. At first it might look like a grassy land, but with a closer observation you will notice the presence of two boats. On board of these boats you can go into the woods and immerse in the silence, and enjoy the beauty of this breath-taking forest.
Another fascinating sight of the park is the Museum of Rural Heritage, which recreates the centuries-old architecture of Gilan’s mountainous plains. It shows the villagers lifestyles, and it reflects the lives of the people of this part of Iran. In addition, other attractive sections of Saravan Forest Park are its abundance of various trees and cottage houses.
So be sure to check out this fascinating attraction.
