Anahita Temple is the ancient Persian goddess of fertility, water, health and ... The temple is located west of the valley of Hinza. It takes about 40 minutes walk from Daneshvari school / Domiloon restaurang. The footpath can be a nuisance if you do not have good shoes to go with. There is no road for cars. Hinza is a wonderful family picknick area. Unfortunately there is no fireplace if you want to grill. Then you have to fire at a suitable place on the ground. If you take the environment into account of course. Hinza is and has been a great place for children, teens and seniors a beautiful picnic area. Water that flows in the stream comes from the mountain source about a kilometer away, it is clean and drinkable, clear, cold with a fresh taste.Traditional festivities usually take place here, for example "Sizdah bedar". People in Abyaneh go on excursions with family and friends, play traditional games, chat, listen to music, dance, eat traditional food together. The girls have a good view of the boys.
