Ulcinj is more than 17 km of beaches on the coast, where you can relax all summer and even in autumn. However, there is a special place called "Women's Beach". Many women who have come to Montenegro for thousands of kilometers want to get there at all costs. Let's find out why.
Why is a woman's beach special?
The road to this mysterious place lies through a pine forest. Already on the way, you begin to feel the beneficial effect of coniferous fumes on the nervous system. Water also has this wonderful aroma, giving the water procedures a special attitude to health.
This area was discovered long ago, as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The first specialists from Italy studied the healing water. In the 60s, tourism here began to develop actively, and people from different countries began to come here. There were a lot of women in the Muslim world who, despite the ban on being naked in public places, neglected them for the sake of happiness, to give the world a new life.
This is the function of the women's beach - it gives hope to those who despaired of having children. Healing sulfur sources have a constant temperature of + 14 ° C. Mixed waters of these springs, beating from the seabed, and iodized water give in aggregate a healing effect for the female reproductive system.
However, one dipping into the water will not be enough. It is believed that a special ritual should be conducted, which has the same effect on health as healing water. At sunrise, the woman must come to the cave on the beach. There is a sulfur lake with a stone in the middle. Undressing on a stone, a woman needs to bypass it several times, and then plunge into the water. After this, coming out of the cave, you need to eat a chicken egg, brought with you.
Visiting this place, the girls need to be prepared for the fact that "cave with an unpleasant smell" is not called in vain. Strong sulfur fumes are literally knocked down, but that's the test to go through it with your head held high. A few visits to the beach - and the effect will not keep you waiting. For the passage of the ritual, visitors are awarded a reward - in a few months you can expect two cherished strips on the test.
For the convenience of visitors, there is a convenient changing room, shower and toilet. Despite the fact that the area is rocky, the entrance to the sea is equipped with comfortable steps, as well as the descent to the beach itself. Photos of the Women's Beach, which illustrate the article, clearly demonstrate this. Immediately you can buy healing mud and take them to your homeland to continue your healing procedures at home.
Is the Women's Beach Safe?
The lagoon, in which the beach is located, is separated from the rest of the world by high cliffs, so it is not possible to come here along the beach from another beach. You can get here only along a narrow path between the stones. Only women can enter the beach, men are not allowed to enter here - the entrance is under protection. From the road the beach is not visible, it is hidden from prying eyes by dense vegetation. By the way, the entrance here is not gratuitous - it will have to be paid for. You can swim here as in a swimsuit, and without clothes - for this here no one will judge.
How to find the way to the Women's Beach?
To reach the Women's Beach, as the locals call this hydrogen sulfide source, it is possible for some 15 minutes, right along the road towards the hotel "Albatross". If you walk from the Great Plain through the pine forest, you can shorten the journey time a little.
If you do not have a particular desire to inspect roadside stones, it is better to call a taxi and get to the cherished place. To get here it is desirable, hardly dawn, because because of the small space of the bay there are very few places for tourists. Especially since this is required by the ritual - with the health-improving goal of coming here at sunrise.
