Forbes included the Circum-Baikal Railway in the list of the most beautiful railway routes in the world!

11.03.2020

Traveling by train, when landscapes of incredible beauty replace each other outside the window, are a separate type of pleasure, and even ecological.

The best routes have been chosen - from the Swiss Alps to the Australian Red Deserts.

Once this 84-km-long road enveloping Lake Baikal from the south was a part of the Trans-Siberian Railway, but in the middle of the 20th century, when a backup section was introduced through the Olkhinsky plateau, this line lost its significance. Later, after the construction of the Irkutsk hydroelectric station, part of the track was flooded with the waters of the Irkutsk reservoir, and the section of the Baikal-Slyudyanka track became a dead end. In the 1980s and 90s, part of the road was reconstructed, and today this line is an architectural and landscape reserve. The route is purely touristic.

A trip along the Circum-Baikal Road is a great way to see the great lake. On the way there will be an opportunity to see beautiful views of Lake Baikal.
