Subatan includes few people who settle there from the villages like Ghalebin late Khordad and early summer and return home late Shahrivar, the last month of summer.
It boasts abundant cool springs with pleasant weather and has lush green lands covered in grass with holes filled with water. Few hardly ever know that Subatan means a place where water submerges the place and you might get pushed in water.
This beautiful and spectacular summer-quarter , locted in the district of Karganrud, aboutb32 km from the city of Hashtpar, has a mountainous road which goes through the Talesh forests. Subatan is located on top of one side of the valley of Lisar and on its other side lies the historical summer-quarter of Barzabil. It is in fact 60 km from Talesh.
Inside and around Subatan has various cemeteries dating from millennia ago and that's why there bare relics remaining there from the past. It has always been used by nomads and travellers going from Gilaan to Ardebil.
Also there is a copper mine and it highlights the historical site of Shah Abbas caravansary and prehistoric cemeteries in a place known as Kondi or Kohneh Deh.
Cheshmeh Batman Bulagh, located between Subatan and Esbumar, the ancient region of Ganjah Khaneh , the main source of the subterranean canal flowing down the Salsa castle and the traditional market are among its in testing highlights.
Salsal castle located down Subatan, is the only knpowm historical arcitecture in the atea. Ghale Khoshk castle which is very green, opposite the Salsal castle , has no bursting spring. It's known as masters' dwelling.
Sari Dash, yellow stone, Alchalikh, where plum trees grow, Hach a Dash, where mountain resembles a slingshot, and Bagh Dagal, where the tribe of Shahsavan used as the summer-quarter in Ardebil province are among its natural sites in the heights of Subatan.
While the temperature in different cities of Gillan province , the most humid province of the country , rarely reaches below zero degrees Celsius, the heights of Subatan are covered in snow in summer and when winter arrives no one stays there except for two households. They all migrate to the forests on the slopes of Alborz and near the lake of Lisar.
The village has no gas and electricity and only after the sunset its lighting is supplied by power generator for three hours.
