Dimeh Spring

Dimeh Spring is located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, in the village of Dimeh, about 10 kilometres northwest of the city of Chelgerd, the capital of Koohrang County. It is regarded as one of the most important and best-known mineral springs in Iran. It rises on the slopes of the Zagros, close to the Zardkuh heights, and is one of the main headstreams of the Zayandeh Rud river. Its setting in a mountainous region with a cool, temperate climate gives the surrounding area lush, unspoiled and scenic nature. Dimeh has long been known as one of the summer pastures of the Bakhtiari nomads, and today it still preserves its natural and traditional character. It is considered one of the country's major nature tourism destinations.

In terms of natural and tourist features, Dimeh Spring is famous nationally, and even beyond Iran, for its very clear, cool water, which is rich in minerals, especially calcium. This water is regarded as one of the most refreshing and mineral-rich waters, and it is said to help prevent tooth decay and support the health of the bones and kidneys. For this reason, part of its water is also used in the bottled mineral water industry. The area around the spring is covered with natural vegetation, oak trees and lush pastures, and the presence of the Bakhtiari nomads in the region gives it a distinctive cultural and local atmosphere. The spring was also registered in 1388 (2009) as a National Natural Monument on Iran's natural heritage list, which shows its high environmental value.

To reach Dimeh Spring, travel from Shahrekord towards Farsan, then on to Koohrang County and the city of Chelgerd. After about 10 kilometres on a side road, you reach the spring area. The best time to visit this natural attraction is spring and summer, when the landscape is at its greenest and the weather is pleasantly cool, although autumn and winter also have their own special mountain charm. When visiting this area, it is very important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, including keeping the environment clean, avoiding damage to the vegetation, and respecting the local ecosystem and the way of life of the region's nomads.
