Bount lake

Baunt is a freshwater lake located in the north of Buryatia. It is located in the western part of the eponymous basin. From the lake originates the river Lower Tsipa, next to which is located the village of Baunt and the local weather station.

On the southern side of the shore of Lake Bount at the very foot of the Great Hupton Mountain, the resort of Bount was built. There are more than 20 species of fish in the lake.

The banks are quite high, in the north-west steep and rocky, and in the interfluve of the Lower Tsipa River - wetlands.

In 2008, three kilometers from the beginning of the Upper Tsipa River, the remains of the Bountovsky fort, built by the Cossacks in 1652, were found.
