That's about these parts and try to tell.

    When compiling the article, no specific principle, geographical sequence, was used. Therefore, this article is not a guide around the lake, the places on Baikal are described in a scatter, i.e. not in the direction of travel on any highway or highway.

    Here you can only choose the most interesting for yourself, and building a route is a separate issue.

    Due to the shallow depth, the water is quite warm despite the mountainous location. The lake is fresh, it has a large number of various fish, which attracts fishermen here. Scientists involved in the study of the lake claim that the water has healing properties.

    Lake Shara-Nur

    This small lake in the mountainous part attracts tourists no less than Baikal itself. Shara-Nur in Buryat means "Yellow Lake". The water in the lake is warm, mineral, soft, and swimming there is a pleasure!

    Baikal. Cape Khoboy

    We return to . Another significant place on Olkhon is Cape Khoboy, which is the extreme northern point of the island. Translated from Buryat, the name means “molar tooth”, “fang”. Indeed, from the sea side, this columnar rock resembles a sharp fang and is very similar to such a female profile with a bust, as was carved on ancient Greek galleys. On Cape Khoboy you can hear an amazing multi-voiced echo reflected from the rock.

    There are rare and relict herbs on the cape. In winter, it is interesting to visit the grottoes, fabulously decorated with splashing ice and transparent icicles. The entrances to the grottoes are at the water level and are oriented to the north.

Subsequently, despite the perestroika years, a hydropathic clinic, a tourist base and a hotel were built. Guests are welcome here all year round.
