Lafur

Lafur lies in the wooded uplands of Savadkuh, south of the Caspian plain and east of Babol. Its valleys belong to the humid northern flank of the Alborz, where frequent rain sustains the old Hyrcanian forest. Beech and hornbeam grow among the trees, while streams and waterfalls descend through the slopes. Lafur was long a local centre for the surrounding mountain district.
