Immortal Castle Memorable moments drew in my mind again by another climbing I had last week. Our team consisted of ten members who couldn't get to the hotel on time because the airplane was late. After serving our dinner, we met other climbers from other cities and our coach explained our itinerary to Babak Castle. Here is some brief information about this Castle: Babak fort, also known as Republic Castle is located sixteen kilometer southwest of Kalibar city in northwestern Iran. It was built in Sassanid era and was the center of rule in sixth or seventh century. Babak was a spiritual person who made every effort to bring Iranians to form a united front against the Arabs. This Persian hero, Babak-e-khoramdin and his followers fought twenty-two years against invaders in this mountainous territory to preserve Persian language and culture. Finally he was betrayed and he lost his life under difficult circumstances. His birthday is celebrated at the first week of summer in Iran at this old castle. You have heard this proverb “hearing is not like actually seeing” and maybe I can't describe the beautiful senses of this path well. I introduce it as a place interesting to worth seeing. The path to climb castle, through the forest trees started from mountain slope toward stone stairs which continues halfway. After that the path gradually becomes more difficult. Surrounding the castle are valleys and only access to this structure is through a narrow passageway. When we entered to a narrow hallway road leads to the fortress, engulfed in dense fog which have created a wonderful scene. All of the climbers were astonished from all of these beauties. In fact this historical and mountainous area can be important factors drawing people to this site. When we came down we couldn't believe such an old architecture has been surrounded by mountains in that area and we wished to take another opportunity to visit it again from other path in near future.
