Lake Techirghiol

Techirghiol is a lake in Northern Dobruja, Romania, near the town with the same name.

Etymology
The name of the lake comes from the Turkish Tekirgöl, meaning "Tekir's lake". The name also means (in Turkish) "Striped Lake" (tekir - striped, and göl - lake). This is because of the salinity of the lake; when the wind blows, white salt stripes appear on the surface of the lake.
