Damavand Hot Water Springs

Damavand and the springs!

The highest mountain in Iran is Damavand based in Larijan province. Larijan is 60 kilometers northeast of Tehran and 26 kilometers northeast of Damavand town. Damavand was officially known in UNESCO in 2008.

Due to the particular geological conditions, there are many hot springs around Damavand with medical features.

Springs have a temperature higher than the average temperature, in addition to a series of salts in them. This water originates from the depths of the earth and brings minerals to the ground with itself.
