Gird-Astera Park
Gird-Astera Park is located 8 km north of the village of Zarawa. A branch of the Zarawa River runs through the park and flows into the Zey-i Bechuk, or Little River, which lies west of Zarawa. The park is beautifully set against the lush green folds of nearby mountain peaks. The park is popular with visitors from the Bashdar area and eastern Kurdistan. During the annual Nawruz festival, music, traditional Kurdish dress and the smell of warm, delicious food make this a top attraction for both locals and tourists.
