Besh Qardash, Bojnurd

🧭What kind of place is it?

Besh Qardash lies beside the Bojnurd–Esfarayen road, where the park space meets a rocky slope and the place where water comes out. Traces of cracks and old water channels remain on the mountain; these natural signs and historic buildings side by side are a good reason to stop on this route.

👀What you will see

• Large and small cracks at the foot of the rocky mountain, where the spring water comes out.
• The inscription Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds on the rock, carved by Esmail Jazmi, an artist from Bojnurd.
• The historic building on the left of the mountain, built on the order of Naser al-Din Shah, where several members of the Shadlu family are buried.
• The old gateway opposite the main pool, which survives beside the park's natural setting.

💡Something interesting

A local legend says five brothers fleeing the agents of a cruel ruler begged for shelter here. The mountain opened and took the brothers in, and water flowed from the cracks. The tale is told to explain the name Five Brothers; it is folklore, not the proven origin of the spring.

🎒Good to know before you go

• Wear comfortable shoes for walking along the slope, and don't step on the wet stones beside the water.
• Look at the inscription from a suitable distance; don't write anything on the rock or in the water channels.
