Olkhon - island in Lake Baikal

Olkhon is the largest island and sanctuary of Lake Baikal. Simple life in small villages with wooden houses and sandy slopes, paired with a unique and diverse landscape, an interesting story from the Stone Age to today, populated by Kurykans and Buryats. Was he here now - the Mongolian general Genghis Khan? Shamanistic elements such as horse poles with colorful cloths, called Serge, and of course the shaman rock near Khushir - symbol of the entire Baikal - exert a great fascination.
