Lake Techirghiol

Lake Techirghiol is a salty water sea-river estuary and it is the richest therapy mud  lake in Romania. It's situated 17 km South of Constanta and it's separated by a belt from the Black Sea coast.
It is the largest salty lake in our country (11.65 sq. km), although lately its water suffers an obvious sweetening process. Currently it forms in a fauna reserve with over 120 species of living beings, many of them rare.

How can you get to Techirghiol?

Access is from DN 39 (E87) Constanta - Mangalia, separating when passing near Agigea DN38 and the going through the western side of Techirghiol.

Techirghiol became a spa resort in 1899, when the " Techirghiol Sea Asylum" opened, with 40 beds and facilities for mud baths. 

The lake's salty water and the therapeutic mud are the curative factors. Water has a mineralization of 96.6g / l, with predominance of sodium chloride, magnesium chloride and sodium iodide. The mud from the lake is composed of organic elements mixed with animal minerals that constitute the main element in the treatment of many diseases. Mud is of organic origin and contains many salts. As a consequence, the resort has specialized in the treatment of chronic rheumatism, anemia, rickets, gynecological diseases.
People's lifes on this land and especially their continuity are reconstituted by the few but constant archeological evidence discovered more or less by chance.
