The invasion of tourist hordes leads to the eradication of the beautiful ... (André Heller)

ପ୍ରକାଶିତ |: 27.08.2017

Since we experienced exactly that in Listvyanka and the island Olkhon is also very touristy, we decided against this option. So despite all the recommendations, we made our way to Irkutsk main station today after a hearty Blynchiki breakfast. Before that, we watched the McGregor - Mayweather fight in the hostel.

At the station, just before boarding the Trans-Siberian, we tested the Russian Chicken Teriyaki at Subway. Conclusion: Quite edible.

We have only known the journey on the Trans-Siberian Railroad from the sleeping compartments so far. For the shorter trip, we chose the seat reservations. As seen in the picture, it was a relaxed journey as well. Especially the view of the mountains and the lake is absolutely stunning.

When we arrived in Baikalsk (a small town on Lake Baikal with just under 15,000 inhabitants), we still had to find a way to our accommodation, as it is located in a village about 6 kilometers away.

While waiting at the bus stop 'Rakete', shown in the picture:

We met a man who had collected a bucket of berries from the forest to sell them.

He told us that there used to be a cellulose factory in the village where he used to work. Since it closed down, many people in the area are unemployed.
After a very long wait, we caught a bus that took us to the village (Solzan). We bought groceries for dinner in a small convenience store and then looked for our accommodation. We were absolutely thrilled when we arrived. The by far nicest and most luxurious house will be our hostel for three nights. The reason why we can afford this luxury? The accommodation is for ski tourists. There are actually no guests here in summer. But for us it's perfect, a great accommodation in a small village by the lake. Here we will rest, enjoy the time, and go on a hike in the mountains the day after tomorrow.
