Circum-Baikal Railway / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Circum-Baikal Railway is a historical railway in the Irkutsk region of Russia. It runs along the northern shore of the southern extremity of the lake from the city of Slyudyanka to the Baikal settlement. Until the middle of the 20th century the main line of the Trans-Siberian Railway went along the Circum-Baikal railway; later on, however, a duplicate section of the railway was built. Sometimes called a unique achievement in engineering, the Circum-Baikal is one of the picturesque sights of the area around Lake Baikal.

Walking along Circum-Baikal Railway: 1 Day (all year round)

Listvyanka / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Listvyanka is an urban-type settlement in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, situated seventy kilometres from Irkutsk, near the point where the Angara River leaves Lake Baikal. Listvyanka is accessible by bus or ferry from Irkutsk. Its population is 1,745 (2002 Census).
Despite its modest size Listvyanka is one of the busiest tourist spots in the whole of Siberia. Due to its proximity to Irkutsk, it sees probably more visitors than all other towns and villages on Lake Baikal combined - particularly weekending Irkutians and foreign tourists (Russian travellers prefer wilder spots) and is relatively overdeveloped, with a tourist-oriented market, picnic areas and a plethora of hotels and cafes.

Krestovka or Krestovsky Bay is one of the few places on the lake which is only 15km away from the main road to Olkhon island, but still unknown for mass tourism. There is a private farm there. Its owners built a couple of wooden cabins for their friends and tourists.

Olkhon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olkhon is the fourth-largest lake-bound island in the world. It is by far the largest island in Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia, with an area of 730 km² (280 sq. miles). Olkhon has a dramatic combination of terrain and is rich in archeological landmarks. Steep mountains line its eastern shore, and at 1,276 m above sea level, Mount Zhima is the tallest point on the island, peaking at 818 m above the water level of Lake Baikal. The island is large enough to have its own lakes, and features a combination of taiga, steppe and even a small desert. A deep strait separates the island from the land.
Russian explorers first visited during the 17th century.
