Bezangan Cave

Bezangan Cave, located southwest of Bezangan village in Sarakhs, is registered as a historic site under number 659. To reach the cave, you need to walk about 1.5 hours from the village. The cave entrance is 70 centimetres wide, and inside there are three passages. Two of them are dry, while the one on the left leads to a lake seven metres deep with an area of about 50 square metres. The ceiling and entrance of the cave are home to bats. This is a limestone cave with numerous stalactites and stalagmites.

Bezangan Cave dates back to the period before the birth of Christ and once hosted people of the Mousterian period, who lived here about 45,000 years ago. This group were hunters and made use of the cave's natural resources. Research has shown that the cave was a suitable place for human habitation in that era. The passage inside the cave is only four metres long and can be crossed with the help of a simple rope. Most of the route slopes gently downward, and unlike many other caves, this one is dry, with no trace of water or mud. These features make Bezangan Cave a good place for visits and scientific exploration.

Bezangan Cave is valuable for its distinctive geological and historical features. The presence of stalactites and stalagmites, along with its particular environmental and natural conditions, has made this cave one of the region's important tourist and research attractions.
