As the first attraction on the way to Kuhrang county, Dimeh spring has earned a place in the national heritage’s list of Iran because of its pristine, clear water.

Do not miss the chance to have a visit to this waterfall, for this is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the whole province. The Sheikh Ali Khan waterfall is near a village with the same name. Cold winters of the region turned the water of the waterfall into huge and small, spectacular shapes of ice which is a must-see scene.
The home of one of the greatest seasonal waterfalls of Iran, the natural park is located in a city called Hafshejan. The abundance of water here creates a lush area. But apart from the verdant nature, you can also visit a historical treasure here: some significant inscriptions date back to Persian Constitutional period. The inscriptions are carved at the foot of Mt. Zagros.
