On the bank of the river Northern Dvina, near the town of Kotlas, the Arkhangelsk region there is a salt lake.
It is small in size, and the water in it is really salty. And at the bottom there is a therapeutic mud.
Many people come here, even from other regions, to collect salty water from the source, to smear medicinal mud or take it with them.
