Deepest cold water spring in the world: Gol-e Ramian

The spring of Gol-e Ramian, registered on the List of National Heritages in Iran, is known as the deepest cold water spring in the world.

The spring is located on the way from Shahroud to Ramian, five kilometers to the south of Ramian and eighty-five kilometers to Gorgan in the east of Golestan Province.

The natural pool of Gol-e Ramian is an artesian, one with dolomite stones which is formed on a river-bed made of calcareous formation.

The date of this river-bed goes back to the Cambrian Period, near five hundred and forty million years ago.

Source of the water is just the spring and it is irrigated with some invisible springs.

Being located 320 meters above the sea level, Gol-e Ramian occupies seven hundred and fifty square meters and it is 90 meters long, 80 meters wide and up to 80 meters deep.

The spring is surrounded by forest from three sides and farms and paddy fields from one side.
