Khuzhir - Cape Khoboy - Khuzhir.
Today we will take a tour of Cape Khoboy. Another fun adventure will be a trip to UAZ on a bumpy road.
Cape Khoboy is located in the widest part of Lake Baikal, where the distance from shore to shore is almost 80 kilometers. The cape itself is a flat stone slab, resembling the shape of the fang of the beast. Translated from Buryat - fang, molar tooth.
This is an unusually picturesque place of Olkhon Island. One of the main features of the cape is traces of erosion. The fierce Baikal wind, the scorching sun, as well as storm waves of considerable height permeated many through holes in the stone. One of these - in the rock of Virgo - the size of an adult.
From the top of Cape Khoboy open incredible beauty views of the Baikal Range, its natural continuation. On the islands rising from the water of Ushkanya, on Cape Ryty and on the Barguzin Bay.
