Bolshoye Goloustnoye settlement in Irkutsk region: attractions and recreation centers

The picturesque village of Bolshoy Goloustnoye is a favorite place for captains of yachts and ships, located on the west coast of. Baikal is about 100 km from Irkutsk. I like this quiet "hamlet", first of all, because of the absence of storms. The village was formed in the XVII century, when the quay was founded for ships supplying various products.

Today, this pretty town has grown and expanded. The tourism industry is actively developing, recreation centers, guest houses, entertainment and shopping centers are being built. Unlike the village Listvyanka, in this village there is an atmosphere of tranquility and unearthly tranquility. It is behind this that many tourists come here. The territory attracts pristine beauty and interesting sights.

Local residents say that once having been in the area of the village of Bolshoe Goloustnoye and having seen the unusual landscapes and valley of the Goloustnaya River, you will undoubtedly return here again. Enchanting silence, wild nature, rich vegetation, clean air and a small population attract tourists from different countries.

What to see?

The main and truly unique object of the Bolshoy Goloustnoye district is the St. Nicholas Church. The history of its development is quite tragic. Construction of the chapel began in 1701, a little later, a cross was installed near it. In the XVIII century the church of St. Nicholas was founded. In 1937, it was closed by order of local authorities. In the church opened the club

In 1988, the reconstruction of God's house began. But in 1998, an unfinished church was exposed to a fire. Later it was restored again, and it burned. Such a sad fate at the St. Nicholas Church. But under God's command it was completely reconstructed, and today it is the largest church with miraculous icons. People come here from all over the district, people are baptized and crowned here, and they also pray for health.

Dry lake

In the village of Bolshoye Goloustnoye (Irkutsk) there is a unique geological monument, which then dries up, then again becomes filled with water. The lake is filled once in four years. The natural structure is mesmerizing with its beauty, around the lake grow green bushes and trees.

Ushkanya falls

Probably, this is the brightest and most unusual place in the Irkutsk region. Here there are rare species of animals and there are plants that are more than 400 years old. These include cedar trees. On the territory of the Pribaikalsky ridge, one can still see endemic plants that have been preserved since the Ice Age.

Where to stay?

Literally for a couple of years the village of Bolshoe Goloustnoye was greatly ennobled. The hostels and guest houses offer comfortable conditions for a measured pastime. For inexpensive budgetary rest the hotel "At Mikhalych", constructed in several meters from lake Baikal is suitable. It should be noted that the complex was built one of the first.

For accommodation we offer double wooden houses with partial conveniences. Organized in the hotel sightseeing tours, marriages, fishing, winter sports and horseback riding. Not bad options for year-round recreation - the hostel "Baikal horseshoe" and the center "Nerpenok", which accepts children and adults.

A great popularity is the camping "Russian Compound". He attracts tourists with tranquility, a real Russian bath and excellent shish kebabs. Here you can escape from everyday worries and simply enjoy the scenery of the virgin nature.

Whichever hotel or hostel you choose, everywhere you will be greeted with kindness, hospitality and openness. Prices and quality of service will also please.
