Ferdows Mineral Hot Spring

🧭What kind of place is it?

The spring is about twenty kilometres north of Ferdows, beside the road from Ferdows to Bajestan, before the village of Borun. Its mineral water gives the bathing complex its identity, and places for travellers to stop have grown up around it; it is a natural hot spring with a built complex around it.

🏛️What was it built for?

The complex is mainly for bathing in the hot water and resting. There are separate pools for men and for women.

👀What you will see

• The separate pools for men and for women make up the part built for using the hot water.
• A children's play area is also part of the complex.

💡Something interesting

After the 1968 earthquake the spring stopped flowing completely and started again about two years later. This pause is part of the story of the hot spring, a spring whose history includes a time without water.

🎒Good to know before you go

• Before setting off, ask the complex about opening times and the entry rules for the pool you want.
• Bring sandals suited to wet floors, and walk carefully beside the pools.
• If you have a health condition or are unsure how you will cope with hot water, ask your doctor before bathing.
