THE OLD PIER During the War of Liberation (1877-1878), under the leadership of Colonel Baykov, the capabilities of the Black Sea ports were explored, which were used to transfer large parts of the Russian army. There were two piers described in Anchialo (Pomorie), but only one of them was sufficient for military purposes. This pier was made of wood, with a depth of 25 sadzhena (2.34 m), a width of 5 paces, and a height above the water of 10 feet. Due to its favorable location—partially sheltered from northeast and east winds—the pier in Pomorle was chosen instead of the one in Burgas. Meanwhile, there were about 40-50 ships in the city, all of which were used to transfer Russian armies to steamships. This enabled the transport of thousands of soldiers from Anchialo to Odessa. Unfortunately, on January 20, 1915, as a result of a severe storm, the city pier collapsed. This posed obstacles to the export of local products, which consisted primarily of salt and wine. The municipal council decided to allocate 5,000 lv from its budget to build a new pier. They even developed a project, but due to the crisis and lack of funds in the years following World War I, the pier was completely destroyed. Finally, in 1924, during the vote on the 1924/1925 annual budget, the municipality decided to allocate a loan of 50,000 lv for the construction of a new harbor. 30 g Between 1961 and 1975, during the term of mayor Tsanko Stefanov, the seafront boulevard was built. As part of the coastal promenade, the old pier was also repaired. The wooden deck was replaced with reinforced concrete. The following decades saw the old pier exposed to the devastating effects of salt and moisture. For a long time, the pier was closed to visitors due to the danger of collapse. In 2015, during Mayor Ivan Aleksiev's first term (2011-2015), the old pier was renovated with funds allocated under the operational program for the development of the fishing sector. Since then, the pier has had a new vision and is ready to welcome residents and guests of the city, offering them a place for a stroll or relaxation.

BREY AND HEALING 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. Healing 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.
