central market. Sometimes they stop by large hotels like Courtyard by Marriott,
Angara Hotel, or Irkutsk Hotel. However, it is safer to order a taxi by phone through
taxi services or to ask reception in any big hotel to call a taxi for you.

asks for more money, he probably wants to trick you. It may be necessary for you to

TOURS AROUND
Listvyanka
SETTLEMENT
42
Listvyanka Settlement — or Listvennichnoye, that’s how it was called by the
first Siberian settlers — is located near the separating line between Lake Baikal and
Angara River. This place seems to be double-natured in terms of history. With its
new hotels and actively developing infrastructure, this is a modern tourist settlement at first sight. If you take a longer walk along the shoreline, the time begins to
lose its importance. You will find yourself surrounded by wild nature that has never
been reclaimed or tamed and still is a law to itself. You will find yourself observing
the spanless waters and clouded mountain ranges.
The Legend
The Shaman Stone
From the ancient times, people described the Shaman Stone as an unusual place.
According to beliefs of the local dwellers, Ama Sagan Noyon, the master of Angara
river, lived there. People used to pray and perform rituals there. They also had a custom of bringing there an evil doer and leaving him alone on the stone. If he wasn’t
washed away with Baikal waters by the morning, he was considered innocent.
The legend says that Baikal wanted his beautiful daughter Angara to marry a young
warrior called Irkut (Irkut River is one of the Angara’s tributaries). But Angara had
already been in love with another warrior, Enisey, and managed to escape from the
father. In anger, Baikal threw an enormous stone in the wake of his daughter — and
that was the Shaman Stone.
After the Hydroelectric Power Station Irkutsk had been built, the Angara water level
raised, and it’s possible to see the very top of the Shaman Stone (1–1,5 m) in fine
weather.

BOLSHIYE
Koty
46
A quiet settlement with an odd name Bolshiye Koty is hidden among the taiga
18 km away from the famous Listvyanka Settlement, where many tourists begin
to explore Lake Baikal.
Why Bolshiye Koty? There are several versions. One of them is related to fishing.
This settlement is situated in a narrow valley among Baikal rocks near the bank of
the Bolshaya Kotinka river. Formerly, the special traps called “kotsy” were used for
the deep-sea fishing in the fish spawning season. The similar word can be found in
the Russian dictionary of Dal: the word “koty” means a fish trap set at a river mouth.
Another version that explains the name’s origin is the word “kotky” or “koty” that
was used for wooden shoes of katorzhniks (convicts that had been exiled to Siberia).
The Museum of Baikal is situated in the settlement today; more than 400 various
exhibits are presented here, including a rich collection of beetles, butterflies, and
dragonflies. You can also visit a working scientific research station here.
Interesting!
Skriper Rock
In the late 18th century, the rock near the settlement Bolshiye Koty was called
Chayachy. The origin of its current name, Skriper, is associated with a gold mine that
was located nearby in the 19th century. An earthmoving machine called scraper
worked on the gold mine. For many years, this machine served as main reference
point of the area, and the entire rocky massif derived its name in the end. The word
“scraper” (from English “to scrape”) has become the Russian “skriper”, similar in
sound to the verb “skripet”. The name Skriper Rock had been kept. In 1985, it was
awarded the status of the state nature monument of landscape type.

Olkhon
ISLAND
50
Olkhon is considered to be the heart of Lake Baikal. This island is enfolded in
ancient legends. A poetic legend about the origin of the Buryat people is connected
with this place. According to the legend, a hunter called Horidoy got married to the
Holy Mother-swan, and they had eleven sons who became the ancestors of eleven
Khorinsky tribes.
The island is protected from the intruders by Baikal cold waters and that’s why it
has kept its traditions longer than other places. According to the legend, the first
Buryat shaman got his powers there. In Genghis Khan’s times, Mongolian shamans
came there during their persecution by lamas. To the present day, Olkhon Island has
a reputation of a place where Baikal’s formidable spirits live.
Legend
Burkhan Cape
Burkhan Cape (as known as Shaman Rock, Shamanka) is one of the nine holy places
in Asia. It is situated in Khuzhir village. According to the beliefs of Buryat shamans,
the most formidable and esteemed spirit, the keeper of Olkhon, lives in a cave of
the cape. People brought sacrifices for him. It had been vowed there since the first
shamans appeared. Shamans were buried or burnt to ashes in the sacred grove
near the cape. The devotional items gathered in this grove are kept in the local
historical museum.
After Tibetan Buddhism had been spread among the Buryats, the cave gained respect of Buryat Buddhists, too. Initially, shamanistic rites had been carried out in the
cave, and the Buddha’s altar was built there afterwards.
Women used to keep two miles away from that place. There had been a belief that
“guilty” and “sinful” women could desecrate the holy place. According to another
version, that was a protection for women. It was believed that the cave was able to
impact the childbirth badly or even make a woman sterile.

BOLSHOYE
Goloustnoye
54
Bolshoye Goloustnoye is a village with well-developed tourist infrastructure
that is situated on the western shore of Lake Baikal in the Goloustnaya river’s delta.
It is about 120 km far from Irkutsk.
It is surprising that Goloustnaya river starts next to Lake Baikal and then makes
a big loop, returns to the lake and gives its waters to Baikal. In its striving for Baikal,
the river divided the steppe with 8 beds. 5 of them are dried up now and the water
flows only through the latter three. If you have a look at that from far away you
will see only bare mouths. Hence the river has its name Goloustnaya (Bare Mouths).
History of establishment and development of Bolshoye Goloustnoye village is connected with a water trade route between Russia and China. Merchant ships got to
the Idin-Gol river’s delta (Buryat name of Goloustnaya river) by Angara river and on
Baikal from Irkutsk. Already from here they crossed Baikal and found themselves in
the Selenga delta. In the 17th century, a special wharf had been constructed for the
ships. Later, a settlement was established near the wharf. The protopope Avvakum
and the Decembrists stayed in Bolshoye Goloustnoye. The one of the first Baikal
lighthouses was built in this settlement.
History
Saint Nicolas Church
The first chapel was built in 1701 on the Baikal bank in Bolshoye Goloustnoye. In
the late 17th century, the Ambassadorial monastery’s monks placed a cross
there. St. Nicolas parish was consecrated in February 1867 and the St. Nicolas
Church — the navigators’ protector was constructed nearby. 70 years after, in the
Soviet period, the church was closed, the bells were taken away, and all the icons
but two were burnt. Later, a dancing hall was established there.
The head of administration, who ordered to demolish this church, is said to face the
punishment from heaven — he became blind. The first divine services took place
in the restored church in 1995. Though after that the building was twice burnt to
ashes and for the last time it was rebuilt in 2004.

Peschanaya
BAY
58
Baikalskaya Riviera. This name is used thank to the mild microclimate and a
great number of sunny days in Peschanaya Bay, or Peschanka. One of the
most beautiful and amazing places of Baikal is situated in the southern part of
Lake’s west coast 75 km away from the Angara river’s source to the northeast,
35 km away of Bolshoye Goloustnoye to the north and 86 km away from the
Buguldeyka village to the south.
This cozy Bay is formed by a sandy hillside covered with pine forest. The comfort of
this sacred place is protected by Bolshaya and Malaya Kolokolnya rocky capes.
What’s
nearby
Babushka Bay
Babushka Bay, a picturesque and comfortable (but kind of more “compact”) place,
is situated 1,5 km away from Peschanaya Bay. It is formed by Ded Cape from
the west and by Bolshaya Kolokolnya Cape from the north.
Formerly, Babushka Bay was famous for its beach. Baikal casted lots of colorless
and transparent quartz stones and their varieties like light chalcedonies and bright
jaspers on the shore. Unfortunately, the famous beach is not the same anymore.

THE CIRCUMBAIKAL RAILWAY
62
The Circum-Baikal Railway is a unique place, an engineering monument built
in the late 19th century. Tunnels and stone galleries of the Circum-Baikal Railway were made upon non-typical projects of Russian, Italian and Prussian engineers.
Some time ago, the Circum-Baikal Railway was a part of the Trans-Siberian
Railway. Then the Irkutsk Hydroelectric Power Station was built in the 1950s,
so a part of the road constructed along the Angara River had been flooded, and the
way turned to a dead-end.
Nowadays, the Circum-Baikal Railway is a part of the railway line between the small
settlement called Port Baikal and Kultuk. There are three tourist trains that run
there: the ordinary one that is pulled by a diesel locomotive; the vintage one that
is pulled by steam locomotive traction, and the modern one that is a rail tramway.
The route’s destination is Listvyanka Settlement or Irkutsk City and the travel
makes up about 12 hours. Then, it is convenient to continue your journey to
Tunkinskaya Valley, Baikalsk or Olkhon Island.
Interesting!
The Circum-Baikal Railway
Construction of the Circum-Baikal Railway required tremendous effort and uncommon decisions. The task was complicated. People had to build 40 tunnels,
16 stone galleries, 470 viaducts and 280 retaining walls.
The longest tunnel of the Circum-Baikal Railway is 778 meters long and passes
through the Polovinniy Cape at the route’s 110th km. The train runs through the
tunnel for long enough so you’ll have a chance to think up a good wish (people
believe that if you make a wish in that place it will for sure come true).

Sludyanka
66
Sludyanka is a small town in Irkutsk region in the west of Lake Baikal. The distance from the regional center makes up 110 km. It is a large railway loop of
Circum-Baikal Railway. Circum-Baikal Railway starts here.
Many tourist routes in Sayan and Khamar-Daban Mountains begin in Sludyanka. One of the most popular routes is a route to Cherskiy Peak.
Shamanskiy Cape is situated not far — 3 km from the town. It is the most
western point of Lake Baikal.
Legend
Shamanskiy Cape
Shamanskiy Cape (Aikha-Shulun, “Terrible Stone”) is a continuation of a KhamarDaban burg. According to the legend, a long time ago, a shaman was buried in the
cave. Perhaps for this reason the ancient Buryats considered this place as a sacred
one and performed their sacrificial rites there to gain the spirits’ favor. As time went
by, Russian merchants began to stay on Shamanskiy Cape. They adopted the custom of sacrificial rite thinking that they could improve their commerce in such a way.
Then the caves of Shamanskiy Cape submerged at high tide and became a legend
because of construction of the electric power station and Baikal’s rising tide. Only
one cave has been left but it is almost flooded. You can travel to it by boat in summer or on the ice in winter.

Arshan Settlement is a wonderful mountain resort in Tunka Valley (130 km
away from Sludyanka station) that is located at the foot of the majestic Sayan
Mountains. The Buryat word “Arshan” means “healing water”, or “healing spring”.
Arshan’s unique carbonaceous mineral waters help to fight against digestive, respiratory, metabolic or endocrine system diseases.
The Kyngyrga mountain stream that flows through the resort area will bring joy
to you with its purity and freshness. You can explore waterfalls in its upstream flow,
and magnificent alpine meadows in the mountains.
Besides, Arshan is famous for the traditional Buryat cuisine. Buuzy (pozy) are
served at every café.
Legend
How Arshan Settlement had been discovered?
That was a lifetime ago. A Buryat hunter went hunting. He tracked down a beautiful
deer, shot an arrow at him and managed to injure him. In delight for a lucky shot,
he began to follow the deer. Day by day, he traced the deer but couldn’t get up to
him. He was very tired, but his excitement made him go on. Finally, he did that and
the deer, also exhausted and worn-out, was standing right before him. The hunter
wanted to shoot one more arrow but he wasn’t even able to stretch a bow. Suddenly,
the deer went to a tiny lake, or rather a big and deep puddle. He stood in its waters
for some time and suddenly jumped out on the shore as if he hadn’t been wounded
at all. The hunter was astonished: what a marvelous lake was that! He came down,
plunged himself in and felt that his tiredness vanished. He stood there longer and
felt himself strong like a hero. He thanked all the gods and spirits that he knew,
returned to his settlement, and told everyone about his finding.

of picturesque mountains of Khamar-Daban 150 km away from Irkutsk, and
300 km away of Ulan-Ude to the west. It is situated at the same time on the
federal highway “Baikal” and on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and that’s why it is

as well as sport skiing. The slopes’ length makes up 2 000 meters with elevation
changes — 500 meters. There are six certified sport tracks and a number of
tourist routes with specially equipped training slopes for the beginners and children.
Tradition
Strawberry Festival
Baikalsk attracts visitors not only in winter but in summer, too. In the second half of
July, the strawberry “Victoria” festival, a bright and delicious event, is held here. Due
to the Baikal climate the berries are big, fragrant and sweet. Irkutsk residents stock
up with buckets and boxes for strawberry in advance. More than twenty varieties
of this berry are cultivated in Baikalsk. “Zinga-Zinga” is one of the best. You should
try this queen of berries!

Ushkany Islands
Four rocky islands situated 8 km away from the Svyatoy Nos Peninsula (Holy
Nose), are famous for the biggest seal-rookery (Nerpa) on Baikal. The interest

Climate
and weather
The Baikal climate, with general
features of its continental type,
is marked by considerable variety.
Baikal water mass has a profound
effect on the climate.
The average annual tempe
rature on Baikal is close to zero
degrees, an average January
temperature may sink to -18°C,
and average temperature in July
may be up to +15°C. The absolute
maximum temperature makes up
+28–29°C, while its absolute
minimum is -32 to -33°C. The
influence of Baikal’s cold water mass
in summer affects the rising air currents’ reduction and the cloudiness
diminution. As a result, the fair partly
cloudy weather dominates on the
Baikal coast.
The maximum rainfalls
are within the period from April
to October. Snow cover usually
becomes steady in mid-November
and is destroyed at the end of April;
Baikal’s freeze-up stays from the
first decade of January until the first
decade of May.
300 sunny days per year
are registered at Baikal. That can
be compared with the Black Sea
holiday resorts. Anyway, the weather
at Baikal is changeable that’s why
you should take warm clothes,
comfortable footwear, hats, and sun
cream with you in your journey.
92
sleeves and lower parts of trousers.
Socks should be pulled over trousers
to prevent a tick from crawling to your
body.
The TBE-vaccination is the most
effective means of disease prevention.
It should be done no less than
44 days before the journey. The
TBE-vaccination doesn’t guarantee
full protection against encephalitis,
but may considerably reduce disease
symptoms. If you neglected the
TBE-vaccination and then you got
stung, you should make an injection of
immunoglobulin against ticks. And it
is important to do it during three days
after the sting.
Beware of the ticks!
Ticks can be found in forests near
Irkutsk and Lake Baikal, for example, in
Melnichnaya Pad, the left bank of the
Angara river, the Baikal highway from
17th to 26th km, Goloustenskiy
highway in the Pivovarikha area, or
Kultukskiy highway. Taiga ticks are
rarely found on the Baikal shores
but it can live at the Circum-Baikal
Railway’s area and on the Svyatoy Nos
Peninsula. As to Olkhon, encephalitic
ticks haven’t been registered yet. Ticks
are most active from mid-May until
mid-June.
Aerosols like “Deta” and pencils
against ticks are considered to be
another means used against ticks.
If a tick is still sticked, you should
grease it with oil, fat, or kerosene. You
can ever cover a tick with a bottle of
water for 10-15 minutes. It leads
to the stick’s “sealing” and suffocation.
Then you should carefully remove a
tick by swinging it.
Precautious:
How to remove a tick?
It is necessary to check over yourself
every 10-15 minutes. You should
give particular attention to your hair,
area behind the ears, armpits, groin
and neck. Your clothes should be made
of heavyweight materials and have
a hood. Elastics should be sewed on
You can remove a tick with a thread.
Make a loop and slowly swing a tick
stretching threads until its body comes
out. After removing the tick, the wound
should be cleansed with iodine or spirit.
