1Open-air mud bathsBăile Reci nr. 1 – Lacul Techirghiol
The open-air mud baths of the Efosan rehabilitation hospital on the shore of Lake Techirghiol, where you coat yourself in mud, let it dry in the sun and then go into the lake.
The sapropelic mud of Lake Techirghiol is the reason both resorts exist, and here you use it in the open air, at a 1960s facility reopened to the public in 2021.
