Hashatjīn

Hashjin lies east of the Qezel Uzan in the mountain country of Khalkhal. The river cuts a deep valley through the ranges before joining the Shahrud and becoming the Safidrud on its way to the Caspian. Villages cling to the surrounding slopes, with small fields and pastures between the ridges. The settlement belongs to a district whose communities maintained ties with the mountains of Talesh to the east.
