Employees of the national park "Tuzlovsky Limans" in the Tatarbunar district of the Odessa region plan to create a museum of salt. About this on his page in "Facebook" said the director of the national park Ivan Rusev.

He said that in the estuaries of the Black Sea region since ancient times,. After the Russo-Turkish War of 1812, on the estuaries of the Tuzlov Group (Burnas, Alibey, Shagany), an active period of fishing for the self-planting salt. At the same time, the tsarist government established strict control over its extraction. The salt department issued certificates to the salt producers for mining rights, and the Akkerman customs post charged excise for the export of the strategic goods from the Bessarabian province.

Salt was actively mined in the estuary of Burnas and subsequently there arose the village of Tuzla. It was founded at the end of the 18th century by nomadic shepherds who, with their flocks, stopped near the salt-. From where the village got its name from the Turkic word "ace" - salt. To manage the salt mines, the Salt Management Bureau was created, so in the first half of the 19th century the village of Tuzly was sometimes simply called the Office. On the site of this office was later built the church of St. Michael the Archangel.

According to the staff in the Bessarabia salt department of the province, the engineer-inspector of the lakes. In this position, one of the first and until 1824 was the Greek Stratius Kalfa - the former nobleman Yevstrat (as they began to call him in the Russian manner). Calfa subsequently retired and settled in Ackermann.

"In honor of the Strip of Kalfa in the National Park named Cape Calf - a beautiful recreational area of ??the NPP" Tuzlovsky Limans ", - wrote And. Roussev.

He added that the territory where salt was once mined is now called "Solprom" among the local population,. But from the former "Solprom" there were only some salted sticks and the remains of evaporators.

"The mesmerizing landscapes of the" Tuzlovsky Limans "NPP at the former solo industry, combining steppe, forest and wetlands attract many tourists. The National Park plans to create a museum of salt so that tourists and guests get acquainted with the history and traditions of the unique region of the Ukrainian Black Sea region, "said the ecologist.
