Badab- e Surt (Badab Soort) is a magnificent natural heritage site in the
north of Iran, in Mazandaran province, including a range of stepped
travertine springs. Badab means carbonated water (Bad= gas/ Ab= water)
and Surt refers to an old village in the area named Orost, which has been
destroyed many years ago.
The stepped form is due to the folding of Alborz mountain range, that happened
thousands of years ago and the water flowing in the terraces originates from
two mineral hot springs on the heights. All of these have led to a dazzling
natural wonder! The water in each spring has different properties. One of the
springs, which is about 15 meters deep, has a very salty water and the other
one contains a red and kind of sour water due to the iron deposits. The water
in Badab- e Surt is known as a cure for rheumatism and migraine.
These big and small springs,
laid out in a natural terrace form, containing water with different colors and
Barberry trees around, have created an amazing natural miracle, known as the
land of golden springs! Badab- e Surt is extremely beautiful during autumn because of the colorful
trees and the mild weather and you can reach this place by 4 or 5 hours driving
from Tehran through the forests and nice roads. Ask Uppersia travel to include
exploring Badab- e Surt in your Iran tour!
