Nohur Lake, formed post-WWII to provide water to nearby villages, boasts pristine waters and stunning scenery. It's a popular tourist spot with well-established facilities around Nohur-Gol. The reservoir supports aquaculture and rowing, with ice cover reaching 40-50 cm in winter. Ice formation begins in late December, usually thawing by late March, but timing varies yearly due to weather fluctuations.
On the opposite side of "Yanardag" another hill used to burn for thousands of years, but as its natural gas leakage moved on due to tectonic shifts the three flames ceased to burn a few hundred years ago. Nevertheless, this fire is believed to have inspired the symbol of Baku which features three flames and the sea. Around the Absheron Peninsula more of these burning rocks used to exist and were used as sacred places by Zoroastrians in ancient times.The larger Yanardag reserve offers more heritage sites such as an active mud volcano, a natural sulfur spring, the Girmaki valley and others which can be visited with one of our tourist guides.
