Badab-e-Soort

Badab-e-Soort, located in Orost Village of Mazandaran Province, comprises a range of stepped travertine terraces and springs.

 

 

 

 

Badab-e-Soort’s springs are located 1,840 meters above sea level and in mountainous slopes. The water of these springs is warm and contains many minerals. The springs’ water emanating from the mountain range over the years, and the accumulation of their sediments, have resulted hundreds of beautiful terraces and rock formations and also, dozens of stunning ponds with amazing colors such as bright orange, yellow, red….

 

 

 

 

 

At sunset, when the sun is falling exactly facing these terraces, the glow of sunlight against the ponds and its reflection on their water, creates an incredible effect of soothing colors among the multiple layers of these rock formations. In addition, the extraordinary combination of these incredible colors with the blue and gray shades of the sky, paints a fantastic and breathtaking view.

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to several small ponds and springs, there are two main springs located in in Badab-e-Soort which are different in terms of color, smell, taste and volume of water. The first spring contains very salty and warm water that gathers in a deep natural pool used for bathing in summer time since this spring’s water is considered to have medicinal properties. The second spring has water with a sour taste and is predominately red and orange mainly due to the large iron oxide sediments inside and at its outlet.

 

 

 

 

 

Badab-e-Soort is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iran. In 2008, the Cultural Heritage Organization registered this site in the national list of Iranian monuments as the 2nd natural heritage of Iran after Damavand Mountain.
