What awaits you
The beauty of Bolshoy Goloustnoye The total duration of sunshine per year here is 2524 hours, which means that you will visit the sunniest place in Russia! You will see the extraordinary landscapes of nature, for the sake of which photographers come to the village, and the views of the majestic Baikal. From January to March, when the lake is covered with crystal ice and turns into a giant skating rink, you can join the visitors' favorite pastime. And the ice itself in Bolshoy Goloustnoye will decorate your collection with fantastic pictures: the ice sheet blooms with underwater forests and meadows of flowers woven from methane bubbles
Dry lake This name was given to the reservoir for a reason, it has an amazing feature: it is filled with water only in a leap year! I will tell you about the healing properties of its mud, as well as about the special rocks located next to the lake. It is believed that they are the conductors of the energy of the ancestors, and through them the locals turn to their family. You can also perform this ritual, if you wish
History of the Orthodox monastery As you know, temples were often erected on the territory of ancient places of power. Let's talk about one of them while walking around the village. You will hear the legend of the origin of the church and its dramatic history. You will also learn about the miraculous rescue of the icon of Nicholas of Mirlikisky
Mountain of Wisdom “Gods walked, creating the Earth. One of them, tired, sat down on white stones, and what the Lord's hand touches, it turns out God's grace. A throne of white stones was formed under it …”I will tell you what legends the story of the appearance of the mountain in Bolshoy Goloustnoye has overgrown with. And I will give you the opportunity, as at other points of the route, to feel the sacredness of another Baikal place of power for yourself.
