Baikal, Enkhaluk: recreation centers

The world's largest freshwater lake Baikal, whose water reserves are equal to one-fifth of all world reserves, attracts thousands of tourists by no means full-fledged. The amazing legendary beauty of Baikal has glorified it in centuries. There are many delightful places on the earth, but not for nothing some of them are called pearls.

Unique miracle of nature

A big pearl in the world necklace of lakes is this "glorious sea, sacred Baikal". Beauty, purity of water, uniqueness and greatness cause admiration: "How beautiful you are, our father Baikal!" Hundreds of poems are dedicated to the lake. The purity of its waters is associated with the concepts of holiness and good deeds: "Baikal inspires and lives and creates, it is reasonable to build everything light ..."

There are not enough epithets to admire the lake. His beauty and greatness create a special atmosphere, which carries only positive emotions and in itself has medicinal properties. Crystal water purity (in winter, the transparency reaches 40 m) and the air is curative.

Gift to local people

Of course, such generosity of nature is a sin not to use, if not for therapeutic purposes, then at least in rehabilitation. 70 km from the lake is one of the largest cities of Siberia, Irkutsk, with a population of more than 600,000 people. By the way, local residents prefer to rest among the local beauties of nature. In the Baikal area there are other fairly large settlements, whose inhabitants love their legendary lake. Naturally, civilized recreation facilities could not have appeared on its banks. The tents are tents, and cultural pastime is also not devoid of charms. Gradually the villages located directly on the banks began to turn into resorts not only of local importance.

The usual story of transformation

Essential indices of the sea fashionable resort - fine snow-white or golden sand, sea azure and snow-white liner - all here, on the shores of the Siberian lake Baikal, became an ordinary landscape. For example, the village of Enkhaluk, whose recreation centers are known far beyond Siberia, is famous for these indicators. Relating to the Kabansky district of the Republic of Buryatia, the village is located 170 km from the capital Ulan-Ude and 430 km from Irkutsk.

The history of the transformation of a coastal settlement into a resort is trivial: two streets, with grazing cows, are gradually built up by houses and turn into the first recreation point (in this case, the camp site Buryatnefteprodukt), which gradually becomes famous. Hotels are being built, infrastructure is being created - in fact, there is a village, the original name of which is added the word - New Enkhaluk.

There would be no happiness ...

Welcome to Enkhaluk! Bases of rest of southeast territory of Baikal thanks to settlement became known widely. Of course, his Internet was very much contributed to his fame. Oral stories for a long time reached the ears. The modern village is in an amazing location - nearby, literally within walking distance, 6 km, the Gulf of Proval. It is famous for the fact that in 1862, as a result of the 10-point earthquake, the Tsagan steppe sank along with the bay of Old Sor and formed a shallow, well-warmed in the summer months Failure.

Serenity and high service

The village is divided into two parts - Old and New Enkhaluk. Recreation bases are mainly located in the latter. The very name of the resort has a kindness - it came from the local word "enhe", which means "quiet, calm." Most importantly, the mighty Baikal in this place fully corresponds to this characteristic. In advertisements it is called "pacified and serene", which can not but serve as an additional incentive for visiting these places.

The special charm of the southeastern coast near the village is that the entire coastline is a golden beach, which, in combination with warm waters, makes the Enkhaluk oasis irresistible. Recreation bases such as "Tatyana", "Teremki", "Enkhaluk" and others, with their service meeting all modern requirements, bring the village well-deserved fame.

One of the pearls of Lake Baikal

Of course, this paradise with snow-white beaches immediately became an elite village. But still a large number of comfortable recreation centers make the trip here affordable and fairly democratic in terms of price policy.

The range of services provided is very broad - from modest conditions to respectable (with the system "all inclusive") rest places.

The possibility of choice and transport availability put the recreation centers in Enkhaluk out of competition. The popularity of these places is so high that there are no local residents left: all land lots have been bought out for a long time, and the population of the village is made up only by tourists.

Many bases work year-round. Winter in these places has its incomparable charm, and it is on Baikal is very developed winter sports. So there is never a deserted New Enkhaluk. Recreation bases are filled both in summer and in winter. The charm of this place is also added by the fact that the village is located on the territory of the Enkhaluk zakaznik, famous for its richest flora and fauna, some of which are listed in the Red Book (osprey, cranes and white-tailed eagle).

"Enkhaluk" base as a business card

Among the abundance of resort centers, it is the most notable - the recreation center at Baikal "Enkhaluk". Again, one can not refrain from the epithet "unique". Is not it the only one of its kind in the three-place Mongolian felt yurt, furnished with taste and equipped with all necessary amenities? But back to civilization.

Modern two-story building, designed for 29 seats, offers single and double rooms of the category "luxury" and "junior suite". Summer holidays can be spent in elegant, cozy, well-equipped houses (of which there are 9 pieces), representing a wooden camping. On the territory of the base there is absolutely everything that the words "comfortable and elite rest" mean.

A restaurant with 80 seats deserves special enthusiastic words. And he is famous not only for omul "on horns". A wharf with all kinds of water crafts, a Russian bath and sports fields - all this (plus local raisins like the "Zimovye" corner) makes rest on this base tempting and desirable.

A tribute to the lovers of tourism

Another advantages and original chips can tempt holidaymakers to the recreation center "Teremki". Enkhaluk, in this case Old Enkhaluk, attracts primarily not by originality, but by traditions. On the territory there is a tent town, wooden houses designed for two or more guests. Something it reminds numerous departmental Soviet tourist centers, dozens of which existed on the shores of any water bodies. But the towers of the same name base are very picturesque, these are not typical houses.
