The City of Mariwan in Kurdistan (Iran)
Mariwan is located to the west of the province, 125 Kilometers away from the Northwest of Sanandaj. It is about 100years old.
Farhad Mirza, who was one of the governors of this area during Qajar period before Mashrootiat revolution, built a castle which is called Shahpoor Castle , and due to the existence of this castle this city was formally called dezh-e-Shahpoor (ShahpoorCastle)till 1344.
In ancient texts the word Mariwan is made of two words Mehr and Wan which means' the place of kindness'. The beautiful lake of Zeriwar, beautiful forests and the average precipitation rate of 800 mm have turned this area into an attractive center.
This city has got a common border with Iraq and enjoys a frontier market by the name of Bahsmagh. These two assets have added to the attractions of this area so that the number of tourists and travelers is increasing each year.
Zrebar lake is one of the most beautiful spots of the province which is located to the west of my lovely city Mariwan, two kilometers away from it. It is 4.5 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. Its average depth is about 3 meters. What is considerable about the lake is that there are fresh-water springs at the bottom of the lake providing its water. No river flows into the lake, so it is known as the biggest fresh water spring in the world. This lake is surrounded by dense jungles which make very beautiful scenery in this area. Owing to the coldness of the weather in winter, the surface of the lake freezes. This frozen lake has a very beautiful view in winter.
