Golmarz Wetland

Golmarz is a well-known village in the Urmia County, located in Bash Qaleh Rural District. Thanks to its unspoiled nature and beautiful scenery, the village has always attracted travellers who love tourism and nature. Golmarz is one of the historical and cultural areas of Urmia, and it is especially famous for its beautiful wetland. The Golmarz Wetland, or Golmarz Pond, which lies near the village, is regarded as one of the most beautiful natural sights of Urmia.

The pond is about fourteen metres deep, and fish such as carp and trout live in it. Near the Golmarz Wetland there are many ponds and springs, which could be called a corner of paradise. The Golmarz Wetland covers roughly 2,000 hectares and has a depth of 14 metres. The nature around the wetland is so attractive and scenic that it captivates every viewer. In rainy seasons the wetland has clear, clean water, but when summer arrives and the weather warms up, its water level drops. Interestingly, the water of this wetland does not freeze in winter, and the sight of ducks swimming on the water is very beautiful.

This wetland is known as one of the most beautiful places in Iran, but because it is little known, it is still not very popular. Even so, nature lovers and those who seek the peace and quiet of nature can enjoy this area. The pond is incomparably beautiful in every season of the year, and it does not matter when you visit, because each season has its own charm. In summer and spring, the blossoming trees and the lush greenery refresh the spirit, but we recommend visiting in winter, because the sight of the pond's clear water amid snow-covered mountains is spectacular.
