a plan model of the recreational complex
Hamedan Winter Festival...2010
Salaam,
Right after lunch on our first day of arrival (Friday 29 Jan), we embarked towards Abbasabad, some 4 kilometers southwest on the outskirt of the city. The place is extremely popular not only for the local populace, but also a major tourist attraction. The famed Ganjnameh rock inscriptions is located on one of the the foothills of these Alvand mountain range. The recreational complex of this beautiful resort includes varieties of winter sports and facilities, including the Ganjnameh telecabins or cable cars, bungee jumping and rock climbing.
When we reached the complex on that late Friday afternoon, the weather was not so favorable for us to take a ride on the cable car. Hence we just spent the rest of the day watching the various artists polishing their skills on ice carving, being entertained by skillfull ice dancers and bungee jumpers, and sightseeing along the winding mountain terrains.
An extremely cold and chilling weather as we descended later in the evening back to the city.
Wassalam.
