Falakdeh Hot Spring

Falakdeh Hot Spring is one of the most notable natural attractions of Mazandaran Province and one of the sights of Tonekabon County. It is located in Falakdeh village, about 33 kilometres from the city of Tonekabon. The village lies in Khorramabad District, in the heart of the Dohezar forests, and thanks to its unspoiled nature, mountain scenery and dense woodland, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in northern Iran. Falakdeh Hot Spring sits beside the Lireh Sar River, right next to a cold spring, and this natural contrast gives the area a unique and appealing character.

One of the spring's most important features is its sulphur-free hot water. Unlike many mineral hot springs, it has no unpleasant smell, so it can be used for swimming and bathing. The mild water temperature and natural minerals give the spring therapeutic value as well as recreational appeal, and visitors seek it out to ease problems such as joint pain and to relax their muscles. The surroundings are completely natural, enclosed by dense forest, rocks and mountain views, which turns a visit into a calm and memorable outing.

You can reach Falakdeh Hot Spring by travelling from Tonekabon to Khorramabad and then along the Dohezar road. Further on, part of the route towards Lireh Sar village is unpaved, and you need to continue on foot through the forest. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, when nature is at its greenest and the weather is more suitable for nature tourism. When visiting this natural attraction, it is especially important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: keep the environment clean, avoid damaging the vegetation and respect the unspoiled forest, so that this natural heritage is preserved for future generations.
