Masooleh,The Beautiful village

[Rasputin]

Masuleh is a breathtakingly beautiful village located in the Talesh mountains. Although Masuleh is close to the Caspian Sea, it is 1050 meter above sea level.

The interesting about Masuleh are the streets. The village is so steep, they had to make the streets on top op the flat roofs of the houses below. Of course, it is impossible to enter Masuleh with a car. Maybe this is the reason why the original atmosphere of the villages has survived.

The interesting street plan and the pleasant climate attract a lot of tourist to Masuleh in summer. Most of them are on a daytrip from Tehran.When you walk in the village, you'll see less and less tourists when you climb further up. When you've almost reached the end, you meet people who are very surprised to see a foreigner in their streets.

Masooleh is one of the most beautiful little villages in the Caspian area, complete with it's own mosque, bakery, several tea-houses, rooms for rent and a multi-level shopping strip. It was definitly well worth the ride, though the dairy animals do take their time crossing the two lane road.
