Motaalleq Hot spring therapeutic facility


Yaqut al-Hamawi, writing in early thirteenth century, refers to a large river near Kaleybar, which has the property of curing the most inveterate fevers. One may infer that this statement is, indeed, a reference to multiple Hot springs in Motaalleq.
Motaalleq Hot spring therapeutic facility is the largest of its kind in Iran. The facility, with an area of 12870 m2 includes bathing areas, coffee-shop, restaurants, prayer room, and gymnasium.
Since its inception, the facility has been a bone of contention between authorities and villagers, who claim the ownership of the hot spring.
