Question Must-Visit Spots in Baikal This Summer

[WanderWhiz]

I'm planning a trip to Baikal this summer, and I'm curious about the must-visit spots in the area. For those who've been there, what are the top attractions and activities? Are there any hidden gems that I shouldn't miss? Also, if you have any tips on local cuisine or the best ways to experience the lake, I'd really appreciate it!

Baikal is such an incredible destination! For must-visit spots, definitely check out Olkhon Island; it's breathtaking and has some fascinating shamanic history. Don't miss the Listvyanka village for a taste of local life. The Baikal Museum there is informative, too. For hidden gems, consider the small village of Bolshoe Goloustnoe—it's quieter and offers amazing views. As for local cuisine, be sure to try the smoked omul fish; it's a Baikal specialty! How do you plan to explore the lake—by boat or hiking?
