Maziar Waterfall

Maziar Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Mazandaran Province. It lies in Miandorud County, in the forests around the village of Darabkola, and in the high-water seasons it offers a stunning view of water flowing out of the green forests of northern Iran. The waterfall is set in an area covered by Hyrcanian forests, next to a spring of the same name, about 13 kilometers from the village of Darabkola. The Maziar spring and waterfall flow side by side in the heart of the Marsam, Usa and Darabkola forests, giving visitors a pleasant forest setting.

Maziar Waterfall is located in the forested part of Miandorud County, in the depths of the valleys and amid the lush vegetation of northern Iran. Visitors usually have to follow forest footpaths to reach it. The walk through green forests, springs and varied vegetation makes for a calm and deeply rewarding nature experience. The waterfall carries more water in certain seasons, and its flow is most beautiful from early spring to the end of summer. Even so, the forest trail and the surrounding scenery are part of the appeal of this destination.

To reach Maziar Waterfall, first go to the town of Miandorud (Mazandaran Province) and then head toward the village of Darabkola. The paved road to the village can be driven in an ordinary passenger car. After that, you will need to hike through the forest for about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your starting point and your pace. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the water flow is greater and the weather is more pleasant, although in autumn the colorful forest scenery has its own special charm. While visiting, it is important to practice responsible tourism: do not leave litter in nature, respect wildlife, stay on marked trails and avoid lighting fires, in order to protect the forest ecosystem.
