Barajin Forest Park

Barajin Forest Park, also known as Fadak Forest Park, covers more than 1,500 hectares in the eastern heights of Qazvin, along the Barajin Road. Known as the largest forest park in Iran, it lies about 2 kilometers north of the city and is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Qazvin residents and visitors alike. Its best-known features are the Mardomi Peak, easy access and a broad view over the city of Qazvin. It has long been one of the favorite recreation spots of the city's residents.

Barajin Park was designed and built to provide the public with a natural space for recreation. It offers a variety of facilities, including cycling and motorcycling tracks, open-air summer cinemas, an amusement park, a zoo, grassy lawns and walking trails. The seasonal Arenzak River, which begins two kilometers north of Qazvin, also flows through the park and doubles its beauty. One of the park's special attractions is the “Nature Village”, built on 70,000 square meters of land. It includes a buffalo farm, domestic animals, a deer shelter, a dovecote, a reptile garden, a taxidermy hall, an aquarium, a rural house, a parking lot, a reception hall and a shop.

To reach Barajin Forest Park, take the Qazvin–Zanjan Freeway and leave at the Barajin exit onto Barajin Road. The park can also be reached from the end of Nokhbegan Boulevard in Qazvin. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the weather is pleasant and nature is at its most beautiful. Practicing responsible nature tourism, such as not lighting fires in prohibited areas and not harming plants or animals, is essential for preserving this natural environment.
