Nestled within the verdant forests of Ramyan City in Iran’s Golestan province, Gol-e-Ramian Spring captivates and locals alike and offers solace from sweltering temperatures and a respite in the embrace of nature, Anadolu Agency reports.

This 50-meter-wide and 50-meter-deep natural wonder is a resting and refreshing stop for travellers and environmentalists.

The Gol-e-Ramian Spring attracts visitors from all over the globe. The spring’s allure lies in its untouched beauty and the chance to cool off in its crystalline, ice-cold waters. Adventurous spirits embrace the thrill of leaping into the lake from a hanging rope tied to sturdy tree branches, creating an exhilarating experience amid breathtaking natural surroundings.

Despite its ethereal beauty, the lake becomes a pressing concern for environmental activists and local communities. The lake’s freezing temperatures, even in sweltering 40-degree Celsius weather, harbour treacherous depths that tragically take the lives of many people each year.

Whenever the opportunity arises, environmental activists engage in clean-up efforts to clear the area of ​​litter left behind by visitors, ensuring the preservation of its pristine condition.
