About
You will see a dazzling marble quarry, a monument to the ancestor of the Buryats Bukha-Noyon, Lake Baikal itself, and 12 wooden bridges leading to the village of Kurtun — the only connection for its residents with the outside world. We also recommend a 12 km hiking tour from the Orlyonok railway station to the Starukha, Vityaz, and Idol rock formations.
