Toskacheshmeh Forest Park

Toskacheshmeh Forest Park is located in Mazandaran Province, within Galugah County in the far east of the province, and is one of the most important natural attractions along the Galugah–Damghan road. The area lies amid the forested and mountainous lands of the eastern Alborz, and thanks to its particular geographic position it combines dense forests, natural springs and a cool highland climate. The park takes its name from the nearby village of Toskacheshmeh, where alder trees (toska) and clear springs give the area its natural character.

With its dense cover of alder trees and other native species of the northern forests, this forest park is one of the most valuable natural spaces for tourism and nature travel. Basic facilities such as a car park, restrooms, a prayer room and drinking water make it convenient for visitors. The cool, mild weather of the area, especially in summer, makes it a popular destination for escaping the heat of the surrounding cities. The natural springs and flowing water in parts of the forest also give the place a special freshness.

The Toskacheshmeh Forest Park can be reached via the Galugah–Damghan road; after turning onto the side roads leading to the village of Toskacheshmeh, you arrive at this natural area. The best time to visit the park is spring and summer, when nature is at its greenest and the weather is very pleasant for walking in the forest. Because the area is ecologically sensitive, responsible nature-tourism practices, such as keeping the environment clean, not damaging the trees and avoiding harm to water sources, are essential for preserving this valuable ecosystem.
