    It has a very beautiful view, the city of Ramsar can be seen from above. A historical place that you can enjoy. And you don't need to get any ticket to go there, you can easily go up the stairs and enjoy the route and environment.

    Perfect place with fascinating view of Caspian sea and coastal cities in the north, and Dalkhani forest in the south. The way to the castle which passes through the forest is perfect But protection by the responsible Organs is awful.

    The castle governing the region was previously known as "Mal kooh" (meaning a place of wealth because there were stories of buried treasures near the castle) but in recent years the numerous holes at the top of the hill changed its name to "Mar kooh" (a place of snakes). After climbing a few cemented steps you arrive at the top of the hill where the castle is built. You can see Ramsar and Sadat shahr from atop the castle. The thing that you should have in mind is the opening and closing hours that is from dusk till dawn. After that, visiting is prohibited for the public.

    The view over the three nearby cities is beautiful. There are nearly 300 steps to the castle ;however the ascendance is really worth it cuz you encounter a couple of beautiful locations to take photos while getting up the stairs.

    After walking about 300 steps, you will reach a place where you will realize that it was worth it when you see the view in front of you

    Ruins of a historical castle outpost dating back to the 3rd century (Hijri calendar); 360 stone stairs to the top; you can reach the stairway by car and then it's on foot; amazing view from up top.

    Spectacular view from the top

    Extremely beautiful , but nothing special for the castle , but the way walking to Top hill is nice and to some extent easy accessible by taking almost 300 stair Steps
