Lacu Sărat

Lacu Sarat is a spa located on the Campia Brăilei, at 5.5 km from Braila. The spa is connected to Brăila by tram, built in 1900, and bus.

Although located in the middle of the plain on the banks of the lake whose name it bears, the spa is surrounded by 70 acres of woodland, which gives it a steppe climate and offers a pleasant place for recreation.

The lake, with a high salt content, is formed by an old course of the Danube, which is now fully completed. The water depth varies between 0.6 m and 1.80 m. The bottom of the lake is over the entire surface covered by a therapeutic mud with a high degree of mineralization. Therapeutic values of water and mud have been praised since 1879.
