Called "Krugobaikalka" in Russian, this part of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the genius of architectural engineering, was built at the beginning of 20th century. The way was encrusted in the abrupt shore of Lake Baikal what boggles the imagination. Discovering beautiful landscapes, you will also learn about the culture and the history.

The Circumbaikal Railroad streches for 84km and connects the village of Kultuk with Port Baikal. It has more than 424 engineering constructions including 39 tunnels, all of 8994 metres long. At the dangerous places 14 buttresses, 47 stone galleries and 3 iron ones were built. Because of scope, difficulties and cost of work, this part of Trans-Siberian has no equal among all the railroads of our country. In Russia before the revolution people called it "the golden buckle of the iron belt of Russia".
