Barguzin ridge

The Barguzin Ridge is a mountain range up to 2840 meters high in Transbaikalia in Buryatia. The length of the ridge is 280 kilometers from the northeastern side of Lake Baikal. The ridge is composed of rocky rocks with very sharp peaks and inaccessible sheer slopes.

Throughout its length, the ridge is interspersed with gorges. On the western side of the slope there is a pine-leaf forest and cedar-fir taiga. The eastern slope is mainly dominated by hardwood forests. In the lowlands of the Barguzin ridge there are natural sources of pure mineral water.

Here is the Barguzinsky Reserve.
