Cheshmeh Malek

Cheshmeh Malek (Malek Spring) is located in a village of the same name in the central district of Hamadan County, about seven kilometres from the city centre. The spring is known as one of Hamadan's attractions, and with its fresh, sweet water and pleasant natural surroundings, it is an ideal place to rest and relax. It is an excellent choice especially for those who want to connect with nature and escape the crowds of the city.

Cheshmeh Malek lies on the climbing route to the Chahar Ghaleh heights and on part of the Alvand ridgeline. This location makes the spring a popular resting place for mountaineers. Climbers who travel to this area can enjoy the fresh water and the beautiful natural scenery around the spring, and experience peaceful moments in the heart of nature.

The beautiful sunrises at Cheshmeh Malek are no less magnificent than those on the summit of Alvand, and spending a night here in such a tranquil setting offers relief from the bustle of the city and the excesses of urban life. At night, the landscape of Cheshmeh Malek offers a superb view of Hamadan, whose lights look like stars from afar. A variety of vegetation and wildlife can be found in the area, which makes it even more beautiful. On 17 Dey 1398 (7 January 2020), Cheshmeh Malek was added to Iran's National Natural Heritage list. This registration is considered an important step in protecting this valuable area and helps preserve its natural and environmental resources. The spring's importance is especially notable in promoting sustainable tourism and preserving its nature for future generations.
