Shahrud
It is the largest city in the province of Semnan. To the north, it is surrounded by the Alborz Mountains, while to the south it borders the arid salt deserts. The river Tash, after passing through this city, reaches the southern deserts. The climate in the mountainous areas is cold and quite temperate in other parts of the city.
Traces of an 8,000-year-old prehistoric settlement were found in Shahrud in 2006. The finds included kilns, artisan workshops, and other evidence of the prehistoric lifestyle.
Haft-Rang Spring (Seven Colors)
It is located in the protected area of the Shahrud district and in the central Alborz Mountains. Agriculture and livestock are the main occupations due to the abundance of water and fertile land in the area, which makes it possible to grow a type of grape. In fact, Shahrud’s raisins are among the best in Iran. This spring has always been the center of interest for the inhabitants of the region for the beauty of its colors: blue, turquoise, orange, mercury and brown, and for its health benefits.
