The Iran Border which is basically a road can be seen running along the territory of Iran. There is a long stretch of barbed fence which is clearly visible along with an iron bridge in Iran. This bridge is well guarded as it is a very strategic point of Lankaran for the emigrants. The guards who stand at the entrance of the gates usually wave back the tourists who try to trespass. There are natural hot springs at the end of this long road which ultimately merge with the river and is a favorite bathing point for the travelers coming here. They can take a dip alternately in the hot water of the natural hot spring and the river water which is quite a unique experience for everyone!
