Eforie Nord Info
Town of Eforie Nord is located on the Romanian Black Sea coast, near Lake Techirghiol, whose mud and waters have long been used as cure for arthritic, rheumatic, internal and nervous system disorders.
Lake Techirghiol waters are five times saltier than the Black Sea.
Eforie Nord was established in 1894, when a clinic first opened here.
Later, under the patronage of King Carol I (1839 – 1914), a health resort sprang up.
Besides the sea air and sun, another curative factor is the rich, black, sapropelic mud – knows locally as namol – from Techirghiol Lake.
Today, Eforie Nord treatments include mud baths as well as world-famous Gerovital and Aslavital original rejuvenation treatments.
