Sand Sculpture Park Burgas

Highlight • Monument

The sands sculptures park in Burgas. Whatever the mood is, the face of a happy kid or a thought of some unforgettable moments of our childhood always bring a smile on our face. And as if we instantly immerse into another world where time has stopped and everything is so carefree, joyful and spontaneous. For the past 10 years such a small world opens its doors every summer. It is located in the Sea Garden of the city of Burgas. This is not a fictional place - it is quite real, even though it whole is created of sand.

So in the not too distant 2008, the first of its kind Festival of Sand Sculptures welcomed its first visitors and for a short time it became a favorite exhibition not only for citizens of Burgas but also for the guests of the city during the summer season. The location has always been the same - Park Ezero, next to the Horse Riding Base, but the whole resource which is used for the festival to be build gains larger measures every consecutive year.

The real process of preparation begins much earlier than the traditional opening wich is in early July. The area is being prepared, the sand is screened and the tireless work of the sculptors who breathe life into their creations begins. Every subsequent edition of the festival manages to express so much emotions with its whole new vision and proves that during the years its popularity grows. In its first edition, 20,000 visitors touched the magic of the art of sand, as their number has increased every year, reaching up to 100,000 people per season. We can proudly say that more than 810 000 people have stamped their smiles in the book of sand filled with fairy tales.

Since its firts edition the festival has became one of the most antisipated events in our city: "Carnival" - 2008, "Fairy Characters" - 2009, "Circus" - 2010, "Cinema" - 2011 , "The Magic World" - 2012, "Alley of Fame" - 2013, "Tales of Sand" - 2014, "To Go On Safari with a Camera" - 2015, "Cinema Characters", "Sandy Tales" - 2017. /In the summer time only/

BREY AND THERAPY MUD

Blye is a product of salt harvesting (salt extraction) and contains only inorganic substances – sodium chloride, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, etc. It is obtained after evaporation and concentration of salts in the lake water during the salt extraction process.

Black Sea brine has proven medicinal properties – it is used in the treatment and prevention of diseases related to the musculoskeletal system, skin inflammations and wounds, varicose veins, and colds. It is recommended for osteoarthritis, arthritis, tendonitis, discopathy, joint dislocation, and sciatica. It is best not to sit in the brine for more than 20-30 minutes to avoid overloading the heart. It is not recommended for the treatment of skin diseases or for cosmetic purposes. It is contraindicated for the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Therapeutic mud is a sedimentary product of the closed salt lake. It is clean and homogeneous, dark gray to black in color and has the odor of hydrogen sulfide from the numerous putrefactive microorganisms. It contains inorganic compounds such as silicates, sand, gypsum, iron and aluminum compounds, various hydroxides, and salts. This composition has been formed for thousands of years by the putrefaction of single-celled organisms, algae, fish, crabs, and mussels. One centimeter of healing mud is formed over a period of at least one year.

The essence of the healing mud treatment is a complex effect on the entire peripheral nervous system. Its thermal properties dilate blood vessels and open new capillaries. This reduces swelling and pain, heals and injures scars, and improves metabolic and regenerative processes.

In addition to healing, the mud beautifies and rejuvenates, as calcium, iodine, phosphorus, and other minerals pass through the skin. It treats almost the entire spectrum of skin diseases, arthritis, herniated discs, gynecological problems, and plexitis. It is only contraindicated in cases of tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, and malignant diseases.

Apply the healing mud to all or part of the body and let it dry in the sun. Do not apply the mud to the heart area. You can apply it to the face, but it is not recommended to apply it to the entire head. Once the mud has dried on the skin, wash it off with seawater.
