Where is the silencer?
Yilaq Selansar, which is one of the scenic and beautiful villages in the central part of Rudbar city of Gilan province, attracts many tourists because of its beautiful fog all year round. The reason for this fog is that it is located at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level, so you will see beautiful fog in this area even in the summer season. This villa is one of the villas of Rostam Abad city and is located 15 km from Rudbar. The mountain slopes of this villa have very green and beautiful vegetation. In summer, the weather in this area is very cool, so it is an ideal place to escape from the heat of this season. It should be noted that this villa does not have amenities such as running water and electricity, and the water in this area is supplied from a spring located in this area itself. In fact, this village is inhabited only in winter and is deserted at other times of the year.
The access route to Selansar villa
The access route to Selansar Yilaq passes through Rostam Abad city. This villa is located 16 km west of Rostam Abad city (about 50 minutes drive). To reach this beautiful villa, you have to enter Selanser Road from Mulavi Blvd. This road will take you to Selanser villa in a beautiful, green and winding path. On the road, the signposts clearly show the way.
Part of the access route to Selanser summer house is dirt
After driving for some time (about 13 km) on Selanser road, the asphalt road ends and you have to enter the dirt road. The dirt road is in an acceptable condition despite many bumps and can be passed by any car. After traveling a little way, the forest texture appears.
On the dirt road of Selanser farm, after the forest, there is a steppe and pasture area and scattered trees can be seen. The higher you go, the cooler the air will be and you will feel the clouds around you; You have to pass through the clouds and continue on the path to reach Selanser's villa. On this way, don't forget to see Darfak Mountain, a few kilometers from Selansar and the amazing Sepidroud plain.
In the local dialect, "Sel" means reservoir and marsh, and "Sel an Sar" refers to the area overlooking a number of reservoirs. Some also give another reason for this naming. According to this group, the reason for this name is the accumulation of water resulting from the fall of snow and rain in the hollow of this villa and not going to the stream.
