Sefidab Forest Park

Sefidab Forest Park is located in Rudsar County, in the southeast of Gilan Province, within the Rahimabad area. It is considered one of the most important and extensive natural recreation areas in the region. The park lies on mountain slopes amid the Hyrcanian forests. It is bordered to the north by the Tulalat lands, to the south by the Zangoteh heights and the Yal-e Benekeshki ridge, to the east by the Ashkurat pastures, and to the west by the Rahimabad access roads. Its distinctive geographic position combines mountain, forest and river landscapes within one broad area.

Covering roughly 3,943 hectares, this forest complex has diverse vegetation, including alder, hornbeam and walnut trees and other native species of the forests of northern Iran. Together with springs and permanent rivers, they form a living, dynamic ecosystem. The Pol-Rud River and its tributaries in the area, along with the Sefidab Spring, play an important role in the freshness and biodiversity of the region. Besides its natural value, the park is known as one of Rudsar's most important nature tourism destinations, and thanks to its peaceful atmosphere and distance from urban areas, it is a good destination for travellers who love unspoiled nature.

Sefidab Forest Park can be reached via Rudsar County and the Rahimabad route. After entering the forest roads and passing through mountain routes, you arrive at the park area. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when nature is at its greenest and the rivers are fuller. When visiting, it is especially important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not damaging the vegetation, not leaving litter, and keeping the natural environment quiet.
