Visiting the stone mine ؛ Gholgaq village

(70)in#hive-163772

Hi friends I hope you are good today I came to take you to a very special place.
The Gulghaq Mine is one of the areas that has recently been discovered in one of the tourist areas around my city in recent years.

Several years ago, a stone mine was discovered in one of the villages around the county, which was very interesting for everyone, and this was the first time such an event occurred in this city.

According to the villagers, a few years ago, when the farmers went to the surrounding mountains for soil excavation, they noticed after a while that the color of the soil changed and gradually turned white. As they continued digging, they realized that this was not soil and was somewhat harder. In fact, pieces of stone became visible.

After they completely realized that these are not soil but stones, they reported the matter to the Natural Resources Department, and the government, upon seeing these stones and the possibility that there might be a stone mine, confiscated this area and revoked the permission for soil extraction from there.

After searching and exploring this area, the government issued a permit for excavation and digging with the relevant machinery. However, after a while, due to the very high costs, the area remained stagnant.

On a sunny day, I decided to go to this area and take some pictures for you.

On the way leading to the Allah Akbar heights and before the entertainment area of the Abgarm village of Qalejag, we need to enter through the cut and this village.

In the above photos, if you pay attention to the last two pictures, you can see white spots on the left side of the image. Considering that I was very far away and couldn't zoom in more, we can see the mine from a distance.

I took these some photos almost above and before I want to get closer to the rocks.

I took these some photos almost above and before I want to get closer to the rocks.

The number of rocks that had been excavated and set aside was very large. On one side, they stood like a wall, and in other places, rocks were stacked on top of each other and arranged together.

This part that you see above is almost the tallest rocks that have been excavated in this area, and when I looked at them, I wondered how all these rocks had been dug out of the ground and brought to the surface; it was truly amazing.

I was moving around and trying to take very good pictures, but since the stones had different angles and I had to maneuver a lot between the stones, it was a bit difficult for me.

This photo is also of me, taken in a corner of these jagged rocky cliffs, which truly made the area even more astonishing behind those beautiful mountains.

I took these few photos from a distance of our companions, and as you can see in the mountains behind, there are still traces of snow on these mountains, and this indicates that this area is cold.

These were some of the almost summary of the area I shared for you I really liked to make a lot of time and get the best angles from this beautiful mine, but due to the limited time I couldn't stand in the area, as well as cold winds.

According to the village mayor, during the times when drilling in this area was initiated by the personnel of natural resources, the villagers were very complaint about the dust and dirt that had arisen in the area. Unfortunately, this process continued for several years.

Since the transportation of these rocks and loading them to the surrounding cities was very expensive and the government's budget was not responsive, so the area was completely resting. And no sponsor has yet been found to pay for the area. And how unfortunate it is to make such an area with this natural source in this state.

I hope you like today's content and I'm very happy to be with me again. I love you so much and until another blog and another adventure trip, goodbye.
