Introduction:
Makhmal Kooh Forest Park is located 15 kilometers from the Khorramabad-Al-Shatar road and covers an area of ​​500 hectares.
Makhmal Kooh is over 1900 meters high and is known by this name due to its special lichen cover.
This mountain is located in a valley also known as the Shabikhon Gorge, through which the lush plain of Al-Shatar is connected to the provincial capital.
This gorge has witnessed historical events, including the capture of Khorramabad by Shah Abbas Safavi in ​​the war between him and Shahvardi Khan.

Makhmal Kooh has a sedimentary texture and its lichens turn green in seasons when there is a lot of rainfall, which is very spectacular.
