Zinegan cave

The cave or the beautiful Zinegan Strait is located near the Sāleh Ābād district, in the town of Mehrān (Ilām region). This uncovered cave, over a kilometer long, has abundant waterways, tunnels, numerous ice cones, natural stalactites and is very interesting.

The air inside is cold and humid; the difference between the internal temperature of the cave and the outside exceeds 20 degrees centigrade and therefore Zinegān is known as the cave of paradise. The ferns, algae and wild plants within it, the beautiful coloring of the stones in the soil, the internal tortuosity, the joined edges of some parts of the ceiling, all describe its natural wonders.

The soil is covered by sand and limestone and in many areas the water level exceeds 5 centimeters.
