Baikal ring
As you know, the roads around the lake a bit. It is wild and spectacular place, but basically not to travel by car.
We wanted to travel around the lake is on the machine.
And if before the New Uoyana in the north and the south Ulyunhana fit quite a primer carriageways, between them we can say anything and there.
Actually still there. The old road, which was built during the time of construction of the BAM in 1975.
After the completion of the need for it anymore. Det even tried to use some time for the needs of the local population, but nature took away his.
Gradually, the road turned into a direction and became overgrown with legends ...
Here and we had to go.

So, north Trans-Barguzin ridge, powerful mountain rivers, huge rocks and fall colors impassable taiga.
It was decided to go north through Bratsk.
It was pouring rain, but the Bratsk hydroelectric station, we still watched.
The height of 120 meters, is impressive, but not as the Sayano-Shushenskaya, of course.
Passable road goes to Ust-Kut. It is here that terminate routes truckers.
Then - already dead grader.
Ust-Kut, the confluence of the river Lena in Kuta. Here I first moved to one of the great rivers of Siberia.
Generally, local villages and their history - is a separate issue.
But we need more. Continue to go shower. If it goes the case, we will not pass, and 10 km of winter roads.
Water rises from the slightest chance of rain and drive are reduced to zero.
That's how we grader raced forward into the clouds.
On the way we visit to see the bridge through the BAM Kunermu.
After a stay here Baikal tunnel, a bridge thrown.
That's how he is, still well preserved, despite the seismic activity at 8-9.
Knew how to build.
And in the morning we were at the beginning of the winter road.
We had to go through the most difficult part - the river folly.
Rocks, water and again rocks.
The history of this road is.
In the mid-70s construction of BAM was passing to the north of Lake Baikal. In the winter 1975 ice road over the lake summed up, the ice was strong enough.
It was decided to build a temporary road. The main purpose - to carry the weight of the cargo to the terminal station - Uoyana. From there they went to the future highway and then crashed cascades tunnels.
Then the designers have proposed four options for the route of the road-Basins Uoyan, but had to choose the most optimal and cost-effective.
After careful consideration chose the shortest, the most viable option - Barguzin.
This highway had been laid in the mountains, permafrost edge with difficult terrain: serpentine climbs, crawls Graystripe ridges and spurs, numerous mountain rivers with steep banks.
In late December, there usually begin to appear ice, badly battered nerves to the builders, pioneers ...
We were traveling and could not imagine how it was possible for a few months in the harsh winter conditions of Transbaikalia, among the mountains and taiga pave the road that later passing on 70-80 trucks a day?
But time makes itself felt. The rivers here are able to blur anything.
Sometimes clamps somewhere else survived.
Somewhere also had to literally break.
It's hard to imagine this river during the flood that could easily pull up these trees and roll the stones of several tons.
Sometimes it was not clear whether the channel that's it there, whether you go right through it.
But the top of the pass. There has not shameful folly.
Around the snowy caps of the mountains, cool, a riot of colors.
Here and there still hang signs. A sign of the winter road.
Surreal spectacle.
We are in the valley of Light. She really light - calm and clear water.
Again ford. We walk, look, outline the path.
And then the wiring. Just a centimeter. It is not always visible from the shore a stone waiting at depth.
In depth in some places, too, it was good.
We explain how to pass, the next crew is already easier.
And the operating room.
On the one hand rockslides on the other slopes in the larch.
Here we get a day's rest. It's cold, but it is caught grayling.
Around a couple of hundred kilometers of a soul.
At night I have sustained is not enough attention from others. Hug me and sundry. we are at about 1000 m.
Autumn is in full swing.
Sometimes we come across serious bridges.
Right in the taiga. Without any entrances and exits are.
Apparently they were brought here by helicopter, would strengthen the road, but in the end they have to stay here forever.
We pass a strong, rough houses made of larch - a cabin.
Hunters and fishers need somewhere to wait out bad weather and warm up around the property there is any.
Small lake.
It is likely that in the winter they freeze to the bottom - there are frequent frosts under -50.
And here is the only surviving kilometer post.
It is because of the way it was nicknamed "the 110th winter road."
We climb to the pass at 1,500 meters.
Somewhere in front of the river Barguzin.
25
Barguzin is now shallow, the water we were lucky.
But the trajectory had still to choose.
Again valley. This is the nature reserve.
Bears, red deer, wolverine ... say absolutely nepugannyh here.
But not far ahead was a civilization.
Meet the latest cabin ...
We drove past the ford across the Barguzin.
It is not deep, but felt the pressure.
Here, after a long rain machine just pops up and blows her adrift ...
... Ahead of the Barguzin valley was picturesque ...
Buddhist temples were ... ...
... I was and Baikal. But that's another story, and all known.
I also remembered Baikal this way, severe, deaf and stunningly beautiful places.
Still, we have a great country, it is a pity we often do not realize this.
