Let’s get to know it!
Do you remember that in the Persian textbooks, we had a lesson by the master of speech “Saadi Shirazi” who said: “Every breath that goes down is a prolonger of life, and when it comes up, it brings joy to the soul.” Therefore, there are two blessings in each soul, and thanksgiving is obligatory for each blessing.
Eskilim Rood is a perfect example of this eloquent and beautiful prose of “Golestan Saadi”. This area is located in the heart of the 40-million-year-old Hyrcanian forests. It remains like a sleeping beauty that you have to pass through the forest to watch. This high limestone waterfall is as Eskelim Rood or “Galesh Kala” and it is a stepped or layered waterfall that has placed in the heart of the Hyrcanian forests since the Jurassic period.
As you know, Hyrcanian forests are one of the most valuable forests in the world, which can be global wealth. These forests are so important that they are “natural museums”. The Hyrcanian forests were between 25 and 50 million years ago in the Cretaceous period and were in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 2018.
