Other beauties of Olkhon

The main place that must be seen is one of the nine shrines of Asia - the rock Shamanka or Stone Temple. This rock is a sacred place among the locals and the indigenous peoples of North Asia in general. It was a tradition here that ordinary people weren't allowed to live near the Shamanaka, and women and children weren't allowed to get close to this powerful place so as not to anger the gods. Olkhon was considered to be a place where evil spirits had always lived. According to the most ancient legends, the lord of Olkhon - Ezhin or Burkhan - lived in the cave of the Shamanka Cliff. Near the cave there are ancient artifacts preserved on the rocks in the form of Tibetan graffito. There are tambourines painted on the marble rock. Important: this place is perfect for visiting in the winter. In summer, there are queues of jeeps lined up here, and they are stationed all over the island, which distracts from admiring the surroundings.
You can come here at dawn. The view is simply magical. Here tourists also like to watch the sunset, sitting on a wooden fence.

Cape Burkhan, where the Shaman Rock is located, has the status of a state natural and historical monument and is located on the territory of the Baikal National Park, which is fenced with carved pillars, shown in the photo.
Mystical pillars. Looking at them, as if you feel something magical. Each pillar has its own symbol and purpose, so before you tie a ribbon on one of them, you should carefully study the place.

The name of the cafe already tells us that the view of Lake Baikal will be awesome!

Another picturesque place on the island is "Sarai Bay" beach. In winter, this place becomes much more atmospheric due to the palette of colors. Baikal ice (especially from afar) resembles marble. Walk along the beach along the ecological trail and enjoy the beauty of nature.
