Molud Waterfall

Molud Waterfall is a beautiful natural waterfall in Kaleybar County, East Azerbaijan Province. It lies along the Kaleybar–Jananlu road, in the Qaradagh (Arasbaran) highlands. The waterfall sits in a mountainous, forested area where, in spring and summer, the lush surrounding vegetation and the rushing water create a striking landscape for visitors. It is known as one of the nature-tourism destinations around Kaleybar.

The water of Molud Waterfall originates from springs and streams on the slopes of Qaradagh and plunges down as a waterfall of moderate height. Thanks to its ancient forests, green valleys and pleasant climate in the mild seasons, the area has become a valuable spot for walking and exploring nature. Local tourists and nature lovers often come here for picnics, nature photography and relaxing beside the waterfall. It is especially appealing in spring, when the water flow is fuller and the surrounding scenery is greener.

To reach Molud Waterfall, head from the town of Kaleybar toward the Kaleybar–Jananlu road. After passing along a forest and dirt track, you usually need to walk some sections of the route, at a light to moderate level, to reach the foot of the waterfall. The best time to visit this natural attraction is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is milder and the routes are more accessible. During your visit, it is essential to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as collecting your litter, avoiding lighting fires and protecting the local vegetation, so that the natural environment is preserved for future visitors.
