Jozuli Spring

Jozuli Spring is one of the pristine natural springs of Golestan Province, in Gorgan County. It is listed among the province's natural attractions, and hikers on the nature trails around Tuskestan, Chafka Plain and Ziarat come across it along the way. The spring is one of the natural sites on the list of sights in the Gorgan area, and it is seen alongside other natural attractions such as Ghasem Spring, Shamsak Plain and Gharnabad Forest. Its location in the mountainous, forested belt of northern Iran makes Jozuli Spring appealing to climbers and nature lovers, and it is often treated as part of longer treks through the forest and across the mountain slopes.

The route to Jozuli Spring is most often described as part of the trek from Tuskestan to Ziarat or Chafka Plain, along which travellers pass rivers, sturdy old trees and forest scenery. The trail follows dirt roads and well-marked footpaths among tall maple trees and other forest species, and after a few kilometres of walking it reaches Jozuli Spring. According to routes recorded on hiking and trail-tracking platforms, the elevation along the route reaches about 4,282 feet (around 1,307 metres), and the one-way hiking time on some routes is given as about two to three hours. This makes it a good mix of sightseeing and a moderate challenge for climbers and nature lovers.

To reach Jozuli Spring, hikers usually start from the Tuskestan area, Shamsak Plain or Ziarat village, continuing along forest and riverside dirt roads. The best time to visit natural springs like this is spring and summer, when the weather is pleasant and the trails are easier to travel; autumn also gives the route a different atmosphere with its attractive leaf colours. Responsible nature tourism is essential to preserving this natural attraction. This means not leaving litter, staying on the marked footpaths, and protecting the water sources and vegetation along the way.
