Birds’ Bay (Taoukliman)

The Birds’s Bay, also known as Taoukliman (meaning literally Birds’ Bay in Turkish) lies 16 km north of Kavarna and 61 km away from the city of Varna. It is one of the many natural reserves along the Black Sea coast. It is famous for its many small beaches, few stair-like sand terraces, abundance of hot mineral water and a number of small exotic islets. During the seasonal migration of the birds, the bay welcomes hundreds of birds (seagulls, geese, golden eyes, etc.), which stop by for a rest and food. In those times, the lake becomes a real birds' paradise. The salt lake (or else known as 'firth') of Taoukliman, called also Nanevska Tuzla, lies on the lowest of one of the terraces. Its bottom is covered with black hydrogen sulphide mud, which is famous for its healing powers. Nearby, one can come across remains of pagan sanctuaries, settlements dating back to the Middle Ages, a Roman fortress used in the 5th century AC, a number of stone vessels used for wine production, etc. Between the terraces, a number of caves are dispersed, the most beautiful of them to be found in the lowest part – Golyamata Maara, Temnata Dupka (The Dark Hole), Aragonitovata cave, Iglenoto Uho (the Needle’s Eye), etc.
