Insider tip — Ganjnameh Springs flows near the ancient Achaemenid rock inscriptions of Ganjnameh outside Hamadan, where cold mountain streams and bicarbonate mineral springs coexist on the slopes of Mount Alvand. The UNESCO-relevant inscriptions of Darius and Xerxes are within walking distance, making this one of Iran's most historically layered geothermal sites. The cool Zagros mountain air at 1800 m elevation keeps air temperature brisk even in summer. Fresh spring water and mineral bathing pools serve both pilgrims and hikers visiting the area.
