Sarab-e Maran

Sarab-e Maran (Maran Spring) is located in Kangavar County, Kermanshah Province, about 10 km southwest of the city of Kangavar. The spring lies at an elevation of 1,532 m above sea level, at the foot of natural hills that stand detached from the Zagros mountain range. The name "Maran" (meaning "snakes") was given to the place because of the many snakes found in the area. Near the spring there is a natural hill where historical remains dating from prehistoric times to the post-Islamic periods have been found.

As one of the natural attractions of Kangavar County, Sarab-e Maran offers a very beautiful view overlooking the Dehlar Plain. A spring with abundant water, dense orchards and trees downstream, available facilities and proximity to the main Kermanshah–Hamedan road have made this area one of the most popular recreation and tourist spots.

To reach Sarab-e Maran, you can take the Kermanshah–Hamedan road. The best time to visit the spring is spring and summer, when the weather is mild and the landscape is at its most beautiful. In these seasons, Sarab-e Maran is known as an ideal destination for nature lovers and for photographers of natural landscapes.
