Haram-Ow Waterfall

Haram-Ow Waterfall, also known as the Algae Waterfall (Jolbaki Waterfall), is one of the most scenic natural attractions in Mazandaran Province. It lies about 25 kilometres along the Nur to Baladeh summer-pasture route, right beside a forest road. Its unique location in the heart of the northern forests makes it easy for travellers to reach, so no long walk is needed to get there.

Haram-Ow Waterfall is about 15 metres high and flows over a rock face covered with moss, lichen and natural greenery. The high humidity and the shade of the trees create a damp, dreamlike setting that makes the waterfall look like a painting. The water flow is relatively light, but the water is clear and cool, and local residents believe it has healing properties. Many visitors fill their water bottles from the waterfall during their visit. This unique beauty, together with the unspoiled character of the area, has made Haram-Ow one of the favourite destinations for nature lovers in Mazandaran.

The route to the waterfall is very simple: from the Nur–Baladeh road, turn onto the Ab-Pari road, and after passing Royan Forest Park and Ab-Pari Waterfall, you will reach Haram-Ow Waterfall. Because it is close to the road, the site is accessible to visitors all year round. In spring and summer especially, when the climate is milder and the landscape is greener, the waterfall becomes one of the busiest spots for nature travellers. Visiting is free, and visitors are advised to practise responsible nature tourism by not damaging the vegetation and not leaving litter.
