Palang Cave

Palang Cave in Semirom is located 12 kilometres from the village of Komeh, in the Semirom district, south of Shahreza. The cave's entrance is very narrow, and you have to crawl in to reach the larger space inside. The cave is about 100 metres long, and this narrow passage makes the visit a distinctive and thrilling experience.

Inside the cave, the rocks are arranged as if guiding visitors toward the far end, where, according to a local legend, an important figure is said to be waiting. From a scientific point of view, there is no explanation for the story that a man-eating leopard was turned to stone in this cave; however, at the end of the cave there is a large boulder that resembles a huge leopard lying down.

These unique features have made Palang Cave one of the most appealing natural and cultural attractions near the city of Shahreza. Visiting the cave is an out-of-the-ordinary experience that offers tourists a mix of adventure, natural beauty and local folklore.
