Hello to all my friends in the BLURT community

I want to talk about the forest that is filled with beautiful white chamomile flowers in late spring.
I have seen Fandoghloo forest up close and I have posted about this forest before.
I travel to this forest every year.
The name of this forest is "Fandoghloo" and is derived from the hazelnut trees
In our language "Fandogh" means "Hazelnut".
The weather of Fandoghloo forest becomes very cool in spring and until the middle of summer, and I think this is the best time to travel to Fandoghloo forest.

General introduction of Fandoghloo forest

Fandoghloo is one of the sightseeing places of Ardabil province, which is very popular among tourists and the people of the province, and it is one of the main hangouts of the people of Ardabil city to spend weekends with their families.

More than half of the Fandoghloo forest area (about three quarters) is formed by vast meadows and plains that bloom in spring and add beautiful color to the area.
The remaining one-fourth are forest areas filled with hazelnut and raspberry trees.
It is said that Fandoghloo forest is one of the oldest forests in Iran. By "old" I don't mean 400 or 500 or even a thousand years;
The Hyrcanian forests of Fandoghloo are at least 25 to 50 million years old and are considered one of the most valuable treasures on earth!
What is really more attractive than entering a forest that has survived the ice age and is still standing in the 21st century and hosting you with love?

The reason for naming this forest?

Fandoghloo Forest, as you may have guessed from its name, is full of generous and prolific hazelnut trees! That's why this name has remained on this forest.

Of course, there are other trees in this forest, but since many years ago, the sale of hazelnuts in this forest has been a source of income for the locals, so it is known by the same name.

In spring, from May and June, the #nature of Fandoghloo forest comes alive again and everywhere is decorated with colorful anemone and chamomile flowers.
Fandoghloo's second spring is in early autumn. In this season, hazelnut trees are in full bloom and other types of plant species fill the plains.

If you go to Fandoghloo forest in spring, you will see endless white plains in front of your eyes from the beginning of Fandoghloo road.
At first glance, you might think that the ground is covered with snow, but if you go a little further, the scent of chamomile will reveal the secret of the white fields!
