Krugobaykal Railway. Along the Lake. Russia 2023. Full HD We had a total of 19 km to walk, with eleven kilometers being along the Krugobaykal railway. From the village of Old Angasolka to the village of Kultuk. 38 tunnels, 56 stone galleries, 248 bridges and KrugloBaikal railroad has become a truly unique monument of engineering and creative work on a planetary scale. Unfortunately, not everything was so great during our expedition…. Only 5 hours were allotted for the 19-kilometer route over a forest path and sleepers. Moreover, the time was strictly limited, because at the end of our trip, in the village of Kultuk, we had to have time to get into a minibus, for which we had already bought tickets in advance. Due to this circumstance, we had to rush, leaving no time to indulge in the breathtaking views surrounding us. Furthermore, we had to be vigilant and constantly watch our steps to avoid injuring ourself. If you attempt to walk across the railway sleepers and the large crushed stones between them, you will quickly realize that it is an unpleasant activity. Despite these drops of tar in our honey jar, we were still overjoyed that we passed through KrugoBaikal railway, such a truly enchanting and magical place. And although with one eye, the other was always turned under our feet, but we saw all these incredible beauties. Very close to the village of Kultuk we met a local train that runs regularly between Baikal port and Slyudyanka. That is why the locals affectionately call the train Matanya. As you understand, the Matanya is the only means of transport connecting a few settlements on the coast of Lake Baikal. Matani takes about five hours to cover the distance of almost 90 km. And still we have reached the end point of our KrugoBaikal railway route, the village of Kultuk. The village of Kultuk is the westernmost settlement on the Baikal coast. The name is of Turkic origin and means “bay, lip“. Kultuk is also remarkable because it was the first Russian settlement in the south of Lake Baikal. And it was founded in 1647 by a well-known explorer, a Russian Cossack, Yakov Pokhabov... yes, yes... the same who is the founder of the largest city in Eastern Siberia - Irkutsk. You can learn more about it in the film dedicated to our tour of Irkutsk. You can find a link to it in the description. Originally Kultuk was just a fort, but in an official document from 1744 Kultuk is already mentioned as a village. “In the village of Kultuk lived three women, three men and nine children. And in 1823 the writer and historian Alexey Martos, who visited here, wrote: “The village is located at the western end of the sea. Kultuk is correctly built, it has 21 houses, a road runs parallel to the bend of the sea. Kultuk, to the credit of the inhabitants and the local authorities, is kept in such cleanliness as can be found in Norway or Holland. The inhabitants practice agriculture and fishing in abundance. Omul, whitefish, grayling and burbot abound here.» Since 1936 Kultuk has the status of a settlement of urban type. LINKS: Irkutsk. Hotel Central: Irkutsk. First day: Taltsy.
