Khorbezeh Cheshmeh Forest Park

Khorbezeh Cheshmeh Forest Park is one of the natural and recreational attractions of Mazandaran Province. It lies near the village of Mahdirajeh, in Behshahr County. Set in the heart of the ancient Hyrcanian forests, about 20 to 25 kilometres from the city of Behshahr, it is a popular destination for nature lovers. The park sits amid a dense cover of broadleaf trees in an unspoiled, peaceful setting, and its clear, cool spring offers visitors a different place to relax and unwind. Its closeness to Mahdirajeh and its relatively easy access mean that large numbers of travellers and nature lovers visit the area every year.

The park's most notable feature is its two open-air cold-water pools, separate for women and men, which are fed by the natural spring. They offer a pleasant and unusual experience, especially on the hot days of the year. The complex has basic facilities, including restrooms, a snack bar, rental beds and space for families to rest. Thanks to its safety and controlled environment, it is a good choice for family trips. The pools' location among the dense Hyrcanian forest makes the place even more appealing and turns it into a special spot to spend your free time. At weekends, however, the park gets crowded with visitors, so if you want a more peaceful experience, it is best to choose quieter times.

To reach Khorbezeh Cheshmeh Forest Park, take the Behshahr–Galugah road and, once you reach the village of Mahdirajeh, continue along a side road through the forest. About three kilometres of the route after the village is paved; the rest is a dirt forest road that most cars can drive. The best time to visit is summer, especially late summer, when you can swim in the cold pools and enjoy the pleasant forest air. During your visit, responsible nature-travel practices, such as keeping the area clean, avoiding damage to the vegetation and respecting the natural environment, play an important part in preserving this valuable attraction.
