The cliff is known for its large number of rock paintings. According to academician A.P. Okladnikov, "the petroglyphs of Sagan-Zaba are a true pearl of the ancient culture and art of the peoples of Eastern Siberia. In terms of composition, style of writing and variety of subjects, they are the most complex of all known rock paintings in the entire area from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean."

This is a kind of small mysterious archipelago located in the middle part of the mighty Baikal. And all because it is difficult to get here, and few people have been here. Considering the location of the islands, this amazing natural monument is located on the territory of the National Transbaikal Park and includes four islands: Bolshoy Ushkany Island and Malye Ushkany Islands, which have quite simple names - Krugly, Tonkiy and Dolgiy.

One of the most protected places on northern Baikal. This mountain lake was formed during the Ice Age, and little has changed since then: it is still surrounded by mountains and virgin taiga. The lake is home to a rare arctic fish called davatchan – a greeting from the Ice Age. How the arctic char got into the lake is one of Baikal’s mysteries.

Zavorotnaya Bay is located in the northern part of Baikal on the western coast. It was formed as a result of the merger of the coastal lake with Baikal. A narrow rocky spit, 800 m long, in the form of a horn, separates Zavorotnaya Bay from Baikal. Today, it is an ideal shelter for ships from the treacherous Baikal winds. The world's first deposit of microquartzite, a highly durable abrasive material for grinding metal, was discovered here, but mining has not been carried out here for more than 20 years.

There is a small uninhabited island in the Maloye More Strait of Lake Baikal, and it is called Ogoy. The word "Ogoy" comes from the Buryat word "Ukhaguy", which means "waterless". The length of the island is 2.9 km, and the width is 0.6 km. It is the largest island in the strait between Olkhon and the mainland.
