One of the most mysterious phenomena on the planet is mud volcanoes. Taman is one of the unique regions of Russia where you can see several healing mud springs at once. According to doctors, treatment with volcanic rock really helps in the fight against diseases. If the list of diseases includes sciatica, arthritis, disorders in the central nervous system, kidneys, stomach, then mud volcanoes will certainly help. Taman is one of the few places in Russia where this miracle of nature exists.
Properties of mud baths
Many come here every year to experience the cure for all diseases. The Taman Peninsula is a small piece of land washed by the waters of two seas at once, the Black and Azov Sea. And on this patch of land there are numerous mud volcanoes. Taman is also a very picturesque place, and it is worth a visit, even if volcanoes go into a phase of rest. As it turned out, periods of vigorous activity are replaced by a temporary lull.
But as soon as active processes begin in the thickness of clay, sand, water and oil residues, tons of hydrogen sulfide mud are thrown onto the surface. She is famous for her healing properties. According to recent studies,
Taman mud volcanoes (photo on the left) contain a huge amount of boron, iodine, hydrogen sulfide. And the mud itself is cleaned of pathogenic bacteria.
For lovers of a wholesome vacation who first set off to look for mud volcanoes, Taman may seem too “odorous”. It's all about hydrogen sulfide contained in the medicinal masses. But even this aspect does not spoil the rest.
Famous volcanoes of Taman
Numerous holiday-makers rush to find the famous Akhtanizovskaya hill, the active volcano Rotten Mountain, the volcanoes Gorelya Grave and Miska. These are only the most famous and comfortable places for tourists. There are locker rooms, showers, cafes.
A map of Taman's mud volcanoes will tell tourists how to get to at least picturesque volcanoes on their own, although many of them are quite modest in size. The smallest are a small semi-dried puddle with a dark bubbling liquid.
Useful with pleasant
Bathing in a mushy mass is a very funny process that children especially like. When immersed, it creates a strange feeling as if you are going down in sour cream. Something thick, black, cool envelops you, and it becomes impossible to swim. And floundering in one place, like a frog in a bowl with sour cream.
Well, if you're lucky, then, resting near the village of Golubitskaya, you can observe the eruption of marine underwater volcanoes, which occurs every 3-4 years.
Every year, these baths attract a huge number of tourists. They are not afraid of either the terrifying appearance of clay oily slurry, or the unpleasant smell. However, it is worth remembering that any medical procedures have contraindications. In the presence of acute or chronic diseases, pregnancy, allergic reactions, you should consult your doctor before diving into the nozzle of a mud volcano.
