Summary of this attraction.

Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain) is a hillside that has been continuously burning for decades due to natural gas seeping from the ground. The flames are especially impressive at dusk. Often combined with a visit to the Ateshgah Fire Temple for a full "land of fire" day trip from Baku.
