Arzefun Waterfall

Arzefun Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Mazandaran Province. It is located in Sari County, near the village of Arzefun. Set among lush forests and mountain trails in the Kolijan Rostaq area, it is known as one of the most appealing nature-tourism destinations in northern Iran, especially for those looking for a forest experience and walks in unspoiled surroundings. Thanks to its location, the waterfall offers a stunning view in the seasons when the vegetation is at its greenest, attracting many visitors.

The area around the waterfall is covered with moss, ferns and wild plants, and the high humidity gives the place a special freshness. The area is home to forest birds and small animal species, and is well suited to nature photography, hiking and forest walking. The route to the waterfall is a walk along forest paths with a gentle slope. It generally calls for suitable footwear and moderate physical fitness. The walk from the car park to the waterfall takes about 55 minutes to 1.5 hours, and may be shorter for people with greater stamina. The areas around the waterfall are good spots for nature photography, short rests and enjoying the forest's varied vegetation.

To reach Arzefun Waterfall, first go to the city of Sari (Mazandaran Province) and from there head toward the village of Arzefun. This part of the route is on an asphalt road, and then you need to walk along a forest trail to reach the waterfall. The best time to visit Arzefun Waterfall is from Ordibehesht to Shahrivar, when the weather is mild and the vegetation is at its greenest. In colder seasons, because of rain and the chance of the trail becoming slippery, you should plan more carefully. During your visit, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: do not leave litter, keep quiet and respect wildlife, and stay on the designated paths so that the forest ecosystem is not harmed.
