Salt Lake (Taman): description and photo

In the Krasnodar Territory There is an unusual Salt Lake. Taman is the land of three seas. And Salt Lake originates from the peninsula. The pond is not an ordinary piece of the sea. A large layer of healing silt was discovered here. And its extraction does not greatly reduce the amount of therapeutic mud, as it is constantly restored by nature.

History of the lake

On the map, published in 1847 in Tiflis, Salt Lake was not yet inflicted. This confirms that at that time the reservoir as a separate object did not exist. The lake entered the Kuban Estuary, which broke up into several small ones after a while. During the period 1850-1912 years. The salty lake separated from other reservoirs and became a separate object. At first it was called Bugazsky. Then it was renamed Salt.

Description of the pond

If you look at the watershed from the watershed, it seems great. Salt Lake (Taman) has high banks, on which grow cereals and wormwood. And only in one place the pond is open to the sea, but it is separated from it by a backfill. The water in the lake is framed by white breakers. But they, if you approach the pond, turn out to be a dazzlingly sparkling, clean, coarse-grained crust of salt.

The lake is small, only 1.5 km long and 1,000 m wide. And the maximum depth of the reservoir is only 10 centimeters. The lake feeds - rare atmospheric precipitation and sea water, rolling through the natural shaft during heavy storms. Therefore in summer Salt Lake (Taman) almost completely dries up. And the remaining water accumulates salt: 400 grams per liter.

On the overflow for many years a beautiful beach was formed, the length of which is much further than the boundaries of the salt pond. It consists of fine quartz sand with impurities of pebbles and shells. The beach is small - only 100 meters wide. But its length is impressive - 40 kilometers. The beach starts from the Salt Lake and ends only in Anapa.

How was the mud formed?

Earlier in the lake there were trades. People collected salt, which remained after evaporation of the water. But in 1952 this development of the lake stopped. But the reservoir opened to people their new properties. Under the crust of salt was a large layer of curative mud. This is a black sludge. It is very plastic, and to the touch it is greasy. Il has a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide.

When dirt enters the air, it becomes oxidized and becomes gray. But the ooze, immersed in the lake, again turns black. In 1968, the mud was examined, it turned out that it contains a huge amount of hydrogen sulphide, bromine and iodine. And clogging impurities in the mud are completely absent. Studies of mud have shown that it is curative.

Salt Lake (Taman) for centuries keeps healing silt. It is formed from the remains of dead plants and animal organisms that fall to the bottom of the lake. This is an excellent food for bacteria. They oxidize residues with the help of sea water. And as a result, bacteria get vital energy. Due to the reduction of sulfates, the composition of the water changes. There is a lot of hydrogen sulfide in it. The mud of the lake lay for centuries on the bottom, forming a healing mud. All traces of tourists quickly dragged out, and the reservoir continues to save healing mud.

The healing properties of the lake

Thanks to the therapeutic mud, which is located in the Salt Lake, many diseases can be treated:

• Pain in the joints;
• Oncological diseases;
• obesity;
• Muscular dystrophy;
• Problems with the nervous system;
• Skin diseases;
• Pathology of the musculoskeletal system;
• Consequences of accidents and injuries;
• Diseases of male and female genital organs;
• Pathology of the ears, throat, nose;
• Thyroid gland diseases.

There are no contraindications. Healing sludge is taken from the lake to many sanatoriums. And it is effectively used for the treatment of diseases. The air of the lake is not less useful, since it contains a lot of hydrogen sulphide, salts and light ions.

Holidaymakers, when they come to Salt Lake, cover sick places with healing mud. But the procedure should not last longer than 20 minutes daily. The result is visible after 10 days of regular mud baths. Scratches and wounds are tightened even after one application of dirt. You can fully immerse yourself in the Salt Lake.

Taman: how to get to Salt Lake?

This reservoir is a unique natural hospital. Therefore, they come here mainly in the summer - try mud baths. You can get to Salt Lake only on your own car. Public transport to the reservoir does not travel. But you can come to Taman. Salt Lake (Veselovka - a nearby village that can be used as a landmark) is located near the beach "Yantar". Check in - from the side of Artyushchenko.
