    It's time for a real adventure! The way to Khoboy cape is difficult, so many people prefer to buy an excursion by UAZ "loafers" or by boat. However, with proper training and the "right" car you can also own such roads! So if you want to visit the most northern point, on this trip you need to lay the whole day. If your team of travelers is serious, then move out on Cape Hoboy in the morning at a comfortable time for you (9-10 hours in the morning - a great option).
    The following 3 points will be a guide for those who decide to explore the island by car:
    You go to Khoboy cape - the northernmost point of Olkhon. On your way there, stop by the village of Peschanaya (or Peschanoye).
    This is not just another picturesque place. At the end of the 1930s, a correctional labor colony was established here, which was part of the Gulag system. There were no political exiles here. The only people brought to the camp were thieves and hooligans who worked on fishing boats and to clean the bottom of Lake Baikal. The remains of the camp have survived to this day. If you choose an excursion, leave a whole day for it too.In Khuzhir you will definitely meet excursion bureaus or guides in a couple of days, they will offer you the most suitable excursion to Khoboy cape.
    Traveling on a loaf is an unforgettable adventure, and the ear, which you will be cooked during the excursion for lunch will simply drive you crazy.
    Excursions start in the morning.

    Khoboy Cape

    The way to Khoboy cape is very uneasy: hills, potholes, forest roads. It's especially hard to pass after the rain. Reward for sufferings will be gorgeous views, which will bring to tears even the toughest tourist.
    The way to the cape may take up to an hour and a half. If you are confident about your car, prepare for the trip in advance: you can get a permit to enter the Baikal National Park (where Khoboy is located) on the website https://baikalpass.ru/index.html.
