Another "Fiery" excursion after Ateshgah. We visited Yanardag Mountain (translated as "burning mountain") in the vicinity of Baku. As we understand it, the fire is caused by a leak of combustible natural gas. Now the territory of Yanardag is a nature reserve. There are not a few tourists, but there is enough space for everyone to warm themselves by the fire))). There are also cafes and souvenir shops.

The tourist center was established due to the presence of unquenchable flames at the foot of a hillock, except that there is an area next to it where some finds from ancient times are exhibited, it has become a ritual to take a photo in the volcano inscription at the top of the flames :) There is a cafe and a beautiful gift shop where artworks made by artists are sold, there is a small children's playground, it is positive that there is a free parking lot for 20-30 cars, there is a shop where ATV-like vehicles can be rented to tour the land, Admission is free for children under the age of 12, admission for foreign tourists is 9 manats-expensive, I recommend it for those who have a lot of time

The complex is built around a hill located at the top of the gas pocket, so the flame burns here all the time. The complex is located 15-17 km from Baku, accessible by public transport. It takes 15-20 minutes to visit. There are souvenir shops and a museum.
