Insider tip — Hidden in the forested southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus near the Georgian border, Galaalti's sulfurous springs emerge at the base of dense beech and hornbeam woodland.

The springs feed a small local spa frequented primarily by Azerbaijanis seeking respite from the summer heat of the lowlands.
