Kaleh Sar Cave

Kaleh Sar Cave is located in the city of Maragheh in East Azerbaijan Province. Geographically, this natural cave lies in the highlands surrounding Maragheh and is considered one of the lesser-known yet noteworthy attractions of the region.

As reported by tourists and local websites, the inside of the cave has twists and turns that offer visitors an adventurous experience. The structure of the cave is such that some local sources have also described it as a "mass grave". According to some accounts, around 500 people were buried together here in the past, although confirming this with precise historical documentation requires further research.

To reach Kaleh Sar Cave, you need to drive about 45 kilometers from Maragheh toward a rural area, and then walk a mountainous and fairly steep trail. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the trail is easier and the weather is more pleasant. On the trail and inside the cave, responsible nature tourism is very important: do not leave any litter, digging is prohibited, and avoid making noise or damaging the structure of the cave.
