It is bounded by the Talysh Mountains southwards and reaches Iran at Astara.
The plain part of the Hirkan National Park ("Moscow Forest") lies within the Lankaran Lowland. The Moscow Forest is the only preserved part of the Hyrcanian forests which covered most of the lowland. [1]
The lowland with its humid semi-subtropical climate is a place of tea rice, and citrus plantations.
