Esteel lagoon

Estil lagoon

This lagoon is one of the nicest tourist attractions in Iran, located 7 km from Astara near the Rasht to Astara road. Being close to the road, varied natural beauty spots, lush farms and jungles all around, make this lagoon all the more pleasant. The Western side of the lagoon is covered by trees and verdant plants. On the Eastern side, floating trees have created a notable landscape which becomes an outstanding retreat in Spring and Summer for travelers. One of its most important aspects is existence of famous fishes like carp and “duck fish” (Northern pike). It is also noted for rare species of birds which fly in from Central Europe, from beyond the Caspian sea, and even from the polar zones, to breed. Being located between the road and Espinas mountain, and adjacent to an international hotel, make this marshy environment a relaxing place for travelers and visitors to rest.

Lake Zeribar (Zarivar) is located to the west of Marivan, Kurdistan Province of Iran. The lake lies at the elevation of around 1250 m with 5 km long and 1.5 km wide and 16 m deep. Lake Zeribar is well known as one of the main locations in the Fertile Crescent where for the first time (around 10,000 years ago) humans domesticated wild einkorn wheat. Lake Zeribar has deep influence on the literature and folklore of Kurdish people. The literal meaning of "Zeribar" or "Zarivar" in Farsi is "like gold" (Zar = Gold, var = like). A depauperate oak forest exists around the lake and a dam was erected on the outlet of the lake.
