The small sea
Between largest of islands of Baikal and continent there is a wide and
superficial strait - Small Sea. It all is cut up by cosy bays and gulfs. The
rocky coast are covered with a wood, water in gulfs gets warm by the bright
years sun, it is possible to bathe, Sunburn, fishing. Somewhere patron of the
hunters, fishermen and surfers here lives грозный spirit Burchan. It can
present clear solar weather, and the gale-force wind can to send Sarma -
Bewitches a relief of this district, Naked hills and сопки with outputs of
rocks. The round contours Olchon and other islands cast rest and pacification.
The steppes take one half of island, wild taiga - another. Here there is a
spiritual center by most ancient of religion - Shaman. Let's have a look in a
cave, where the spirit of Baikal - Burchan lives. Not far there is a place,
where thousand years were incinerated жертвенные animal. Let's mount in a
mountain, on which one the sins are released. By the detected archeological
finds, on Olchon the Man for the first time has saddled horses. There are
hypotheses, what exactly here has arisen the Asian race and radical
inhabitants of America, too from here it come. You will see amazing sandy
beaches and salty lakes, laying in the middle roads of the cows, wild horses.
Let's try of local milk smelling as edelweisses...
Peak Talzinskij
This region on a coast of Baikal record on number of falling out
precipitations (up to 2000mm per one year) Therefore it call " as Cold tropics
". Pleasure to take a walk on a virginal taiga, admiring jumbo trees. On the
Alpine meadows a herb of above human growth and colours of unusual beauty.
From top the wonderful view on of Baikal ambient mountains and apron plains
opens. For winter settles out of two - mеter layers of snow. It thaws on
northern declines up to middle of a summer.

About Irkutsk is much told in the directories and tutorials of a history.

power station, on quay of Angara, by bars and cafe. There is and Geographical
a museum. And in an art museum it is possible to see the originals Famous of
the Russian artists, and much another... It is necessary to visit museum -
manor Dekabrists, given roots to rich culture of East Siberia.

Angara - disobedient daughter of the old man of Baikal has run away to the
friend to Yenisei in area Listvianka. Till now The scientists break heads, how
it was possible to it? The young girl had to move apart coastal rocks... The
force of love Is great! I offer in it to be convinced, having visited a source
of the river of Angara and Lake museum with the alive eyewitnesses - By seals.
Near Baikals, on a high coast of the man-made Irkutsk sea, is still one museum
- Siberian Settlement. Here are assembled is exemplary - indicative At home,
school and Churches from flooded by reservoirs Settlements. With all utensils
and By property, only alas - without the inhabitants... A rather instructive
show!
