GINAU KUH— Lat. 27° 25' 0" ; Long. 56° 9' 27" Elev. about 7,690'.
A hill near the village of Ginau, belonging to Bandar ’Abbas. It is
remarkable for a hot spring of a sulphurous nature, whence the name Ginau
(a corruption of Gandeh Ab, meaning “ stinking water ”). This spring is at
the base of the hill. It has formed a pool of water 3 or 4 feet deep, from the
central part of which the water wells up with some force. It evolves a strong
odour of sulphurretted hydrogen, and darkens silver ; it also holds in
solution a small quantity of common salt. Here are the remains of a large
building, a few arches of which are still standing, also some other
ruins of houses, etc., indicating that the place was greatly resorted to by
sick persons. There are gardens in a valley near the summit of Kuh Ginau.
