Bozmoredeh Cave

Bozmoredeh Cave (also known as Miyangoo Cave) is located in Qaenat County, South Khorasan Province, and is considered one of the most important caves in the region, both historically and naturally. The cave lies about 28 kilometers northwest of the city of Qaen and 6 kilometers northwest of Mahenj village, in a mountainous area on the slopes of Mount Al-Ghaz. It can be reached by minor rural roads.

The interior of Bozmoredeh Cave consists of several halls and corridors. Its depth is reported at roughly 120 meters, with a standard interior height of about 3 meters, which points to a complex structure of limestone passages inside the mountain. The cave floor is fairly rough and difficult to cross, so visiting requires caution and suitable equipment. Traces of human habitation from prehistoric times have also been found inside the cave, which adds greatly to its archaeological importance. About 1.5 kilometers south of the cave there is a freshwater spring, which helps make the area habitable. The interlinked chambers and dimly lit sections suggest that the cave was not designed for long-term occupation, but it could have served as a shelter and for ritual or burial use.

To reach Bozmoredeh Cave, head northwest from the city of Qaen and take the minor rural roads leading to Mahenj village and the site known as "Tak-al-Ghareh". From there, a short hike across the mountain slopes brings you to the cave entrance. The best time to visit is spring or autumn, when the weather is milder and conditions are better for walking and exploring the cave. For responsible nature tourism, follow safety principles inside the cave, take your litter with you, respect the cave's natural structure, and avoid damaging any archaeological remains.
