Nature
There are many large forests in the valley of Kaszon; nearly half of the area of Kaszon is covered by forests.
Much of the rest of the area is used for growing crops and for grazing animals.
The Kaszon region is rich in mineral water springs.
In the past there was a spa there. The iodine content of the water made this spa a popular healing centre for iodine defficiencies.
