Tonekābon

Tonekabon lies between the Caspian Sea and the forested northern slopes of the Alborz. The coastal country belonged to the realm of the Paduspanid rulers of Ruyan, whose long-lived dynasty governed parts of the southern Caspian shore. Rivers descending from the mountains cross the narrow lowlands on their way to the sea, giving the district a landscape of wooded valleys and fertile coastal land.
