The Qinarjeh hot spring is one of the most popular natural and therapeutic attractions in Ardabil Province. It lies in the Meshgin Shahr area, on the slopes of the volcanic Mount Sabalan. With its very high water temperature, it is counted among the hottest hot springs in Iran and one of the hottest in the world, at an elevation of roughly 1,240 to 1,650 metres above sea level. The Qinarjeh spring sits close to several other mineral springs in the Sabalan region and is an important natural stop on travel routes to Meshgin Shahr and Nir.

The water of this spring is of the sodium chloride (chlorosodic) type and is carbonated, with a temperature above 80 degrees Celsius. Thanks to its mineral content, it is used to relieve joint pain, rheumatism, lymphatic problems and some skin conditions. A developed hydrotherapy complex in the area offers visitors indoor and open-air pools, jacuzzis, saunas, a restaurant and rest areas, so that besides the therapeutic use they can also enjoy a comfortable, relaxing stay. In the right seasons, the surrounding landscape of mountain scenery, rivers and green pastures combines therapeutic calm with natural beauty.

To reach the Qinarjeh hot spring, you can set out from the city of Meshgin Shahr and, after about 20 to 30 minutes of driving on good roads, arrive at the hot spring complex. The route runs through the southern and western areas of Meshgin Shahr and the surrounding villages, such as Moil and Aghbolagh. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the weather is mild and the surrounding countryside is green. Even so, bathing in the hot water in winter, with a view of Sabalan's snow, is a unique experience. Visitors are encouraged to travel responsibly: keep the area clean, respect nature and make proper use of the therapeutic and recreational facilities.
