Kutalokhor Cave is a dry-water cave located in Zanjan province, Khodabandeh, 80 km south of Khedar and 173 km north of Hamadan, 410 km from Tehran and 5 km from Garmab small town. In some parts of western Iran, it is said to be low-lying mountains, and it is likely that the cave sign is due to the fact that the cave is located in one of these mountains and that the sun rises from behind and instead of the sun it is called " The Kataleh Khor Cave was discovered before the year 1300 and was registered in 1330 by a person named Jamali Zanjani. Around the year 1343, the climbers' sun was exposed due to the length of the entrance corridor and the shortage of its ceiling and the traffic problems and the lack of attractions. However, in 1365 a group of cabrioleists from Hamedan visited a large cave and managed to form the cave Related to the Jurassic era. (That is, more than 120 million years ago), the building is located below the Koht Chork and downstream of the crater of the Rudshur, which is located at the lower parts of the Gozlouzan. The cave is formed in a rectangular area of 1500 × 2000. In place, the mechanical weathering function and internal forces together have created a number of cracks or cross faults in the interior space of the space and, due to the provision of other conditions, the cave production process has begun. The cave consists of three floors, with its sub-tunnels, slouches and aclactamites, and many columns on the main passageways. The cone hinged from the ceilings has various colors due to impurities, and they The compounds do not have or do not come in the form of crystal clear glass. Kutal Khour Cave is a limestone cave that is visible in some places in clay and soils containing iron oxide. This cave is about the same age as Alisadr Cave in Hamadan. Of course, these two caves differ from two directions. One is that the cave of al-Assadr in Hamedan is completely cavernous, but the cave of Kotaleh Kord Zanjan is almost dry. Secondly, the cemetery lime is much purer than the lime of Alisadr Cave, which is a factor in the cave's beauty, because the pureness of the lime causes them to be transparent, and thus the light passes through the candles. The mouth of the cave is at an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level, and its height difference is 50 meters from the height of the eye that drains the freshwater from the cave and flows into the river. The entrance of the cave is a 4000-meter wide corridor with a short roof without a stone cave and a few atrioventricles, followed by an atrium of a 950 meter wide corridor with elevations of 2 meters in height and dry pits, which continues with a plunger of 50 meters, and after Crossing a hill to a large courtyard covered with abstracts and abbreviations and pillars. Inside the small crystalline hall, which encloses the columns of columns, a well is 8 meters deep, which is likely to be the outlet of the cavernous forgeries. At present, the cave is divided into three cultural, recreational and sports divisions. Its sports section is only used by cavers and climbers, it is about 4 km, though its end has not yet been discovered. The cave section, also used for general public use, is about 2 km straight, which is said to be just 1.3% of the entire cave. The cultural section of the cave is located in the southern part of the city. The main part is a natural passageway used to hold various ceremonies. Of course, these corridors have no way out and the way out is artificial, but the hall itself is completely natural.
