The trek starts from the picturesque Peschanaya bay, often called the “Siberian Riviera”, one of the best-known natural landmarks of Baikal and a popular recreation site. The route consists of two parts: the first section follows an old hunter's path in the densest Siberian forest, while the other one runs along the coastline of Lake Baikal – the oldest and deepest freshwater lake on our planet.
