⛰️ Road Trip to Barzan ⛰️🍂
Rain is in the forecast for this Friday, but we are not made of sugar! We still want to get out of the city and enjoy the mountains, whatever the weather brings.

This time, we’re heading north on a road trip to Barzan, with two major stops along the way: Shanidar Cave and the Barzan National Museum!

But there is more to Barzan than its history.

Did you know that the Barzan region is home to what is considered the first de facto national park in the Kurdistan Region? Hunting wild animals and cutting trees are prohibited here, helping to preserve its rich biodiversity and protect its unique mountain landscape. This is largely thanks to strong local commitment to protecting the natural environment.

So, if we spot wild goats or come across another natural beauty along the way, we’ll make a stop to enjoy the moment!

Our Key Stops
🦴 Shanidar Cave – One of the most important prehistoric archaeological sites in the region. Several Neanderthal remains were excavated here, offering fascinating insights into Neanderthal life, burial practices and human prehistory.

🏛️ Barzan National Museum – A place to explore the political, social and historical story of the Barzan region and its importance in modern Kurdish history.
