Trip to the old Oghaz village in Shirvan and visit to the waterfalls

Hello to all tourists
Hello to @worldmappin
I hope you are doing well.
During a few days trip I had to another city near the province, according to the locals and conversations with friends, it was decided to visit the villages here whenever the opportunity arose, considering their attractions.
In this post, I want to take you to the old village of Oghaz. A very pure and unique place.

The old Oghaz village is a beautiful place and one of the villages around Shirvan. It is old and has a lot of memories and history. Its nature is very picturesque, especially its waterfall, which is perfect for swimming in the spring and summer. Its people are warm-hearted and hospitable, mostly farmers and livestock breeders.

After we passed the village of Oghaz, a little further we reached a place where the asphalt road ended and became dirt. We pulled the car over and parked in a suitable spot. From there on, we had to go on foot. The path went through the middle of the orchards, full of trees and greenery, and in some places, a beautiful sound of water was coming. In short, we got up and set off, gradually entering the heart of nature, and the cool air and the smell of the trees felt really good.

When we went a little further, the gardens gradually ended and we entered a path where we could see mountains and rocks around us. A kind of wilder and cooler atmosphere.
The sound echoed in the valley, the sound of water flowing that you could really feel you were getting closer to the waterfall.

Some parts of the path had become rocky. The ground was full of pebbles and it was uphill. In some places, we had to pass between the rocks, we had to go a little carefully. But I was really excited.
In some places, there were rocks on both sides of us, like a narrow path that goes through the heart of the mountain.

Finally, at a point where we passed a bend, the amazing sound of the water pouring became louder and our eyes fell on the tall wall of the waterfall that was pouring down from the middle of the mountain.

It was such a beautiful feeling.

It was both amazing and at times breathtaking. When we were resting, I was astonished. I didn't know whether to take pictures of the grandeur of the mountains or of its waterfalls.

The waterfall had a small pool below it, which is in the above photos and was perfect for swimming.

The old Oghaz waterfall has a significant history that is lost in the heart of nature. When we asked the locals, they said this waterfall has been flowing in the same way we see it today for years, and it has been talked about from generation to generation.

The essence of these waterfalls is like an old guardian of nature in that area, having witnessed the changing seasons and the comings and goings of various people over the years. The large stones beside the waterfall and the shape of the rocks show that water has been flowing powerfully from above for years, carving its path into the heart of the mountain.

Some people also said that this place used to be a gathering spot for wild animals, and the waterfall served as a vital source of life for them, which is why the locals have always held it in special respect and taken care of it. With these conversations we had with the locals, I reflected and thought to myself that the grandeur of this place clearly indicates a sign of very ancient history. And these waterfalls and the path it has carved for itself cannot be related to recent years.

It was a very beautiful experience. It was worth it to venture into the mountains and be left in awe of all this beauty.

And right there in the heart of the mountains, I prayed for our health and that we could come back to these pristine and beautiful paths in the mountains with friends again. I believe the mountains have a lot to say.

I was very happy that an opportunity arose here, and I shared this beautiful journey of mine with you.

Until another tourism trip
For now, goodbye.
