Sareyn
It is a city and capital of the county of Sareyn, 25 kilometers west of Ardebil, and has approximately 8,000 inhabitants, which exceeds 20,000 in summer due to its charming climate. The fame of this city is in debt to its hot springs and its springs are near a dormant volcano on Mount Sabalan. Most of the country’s springs are located in western Azerbaijan, Mazandaran and Ardebil. The water from these springs contains sulfur particles, useful for bone and joint pain. In fact, Iranians have shown great interest in the therapeutic aspect of hot springs.
Besides the kings, who built recreational centers on the edge of the springs, the Iranian people consider them of great importance religiously. According to popular belief, these springs are protected by divine forces, which is why they have supernatural power. Gavmish Goli, Ghotur Soui, Sari Sou, and Ghara Sou are among the most famous springs and attract many tourists annually. The pleasant climate and hot springs are the first attractions for tourists traveling to this region, and another tourist attraction is the Alvares ski resort, 24 kilometers from Sareyn with an altitude of 3,200 meters above sea level. Due to the large amount of snow, this station is usable between 6 and 8 months. In the historical town of Konzagh, in the suburbs of Sareyn, there are caves related to the Parthian period, registered in the list of the national heritages of Iran.
