The reason for naming Tang Baraq

This valley is located near the village of the same name and the limestone cave is one of the attractions of this place. Probably one of the reasons for the name of this area is the same limestones that have been eroded, polished and shiny due to the flow of water.

Shiny means bright; So maybe Tang Baraq can be defined as a gorge whose stones are shining.

A beautiful view of fields, surrounding forests and oak trees, natural patios in the walls and cracks of the waterfall path, along with animal species such as jackals, boars and eagles, have turned this area into a tourist attraction.

Important points in the trip to Baraq Euclid Gorge

To travel to Tang Barak Euclid, you should consider some points both before and during the trip:

• If you travel to this gorge, you should definitely keep in mind that the ponds of this gorge have different depths and even the height of some of them reaches 10 meters.
• The presence of large rocks in the depth of the ponds is a little worrying because jumping from above and diving in this gorge has caused the lives of many people to be endangered and even ended in their death in some cases. Therefore, we recommend that you do not dive in these ponds and do not turn your and your family’s fun into bitterness.
• If you plan to stay in this area, you should take a sleeping bag, blanket, tent, power bank, picnic, mat, etc. with you; Because there is no hotel in this village and you have to go to nearby cities to stay.
• Don’t forget the necessary items such as sunscreen, glasses, etc. and be sure to bring extra clothes with you; Because there is a possibility that your clothes will get wet by swimming in tight, shiny pools.
• Try to have warm clothes with you at any time and season you travel to this area; Because even in summer, especially at night, the weather gets a little cold.
• If you travel to Tang Baraq in winter, you should be aware that it is not possible to camp and set up a tent around the waterfall in the extreme cold of this season, and you must return to your place of residence after visiting.
• If you plan to travel to Tang Barak and stay at night, try to go on this trip as a group and team, as well as with full and equipped equipment.
• Before leaving for this trip, be sure to adjust the air in your car’s tires and fill your gas or gasoline tank so that you don’t get into trouble due to the lack of sufficient facilities.
• Try not to light a fire in this gorge, and if you do, make sure it goes out and then leave the area; Because with just a small spark, there is a possibility of fire in this environment and all the greenery and beauty of this gorge will be destroyed.
• Due to the mountainous nature of this area, be sure to bring linen or sports shoes with you and use them
