Tazheran Steppe
and Olkhon Island
Tazheran Steppe
There are many specific, rare minerals here. In the north, the steppe starts from the Olkhonskiye Vorota Strait, in the south it reaches the Anga River. You can see relict spruce forests, light pine forests, sand dunes and steppe expanses, outlier rocks and hilly relief. Many beautiful bays of Lake Baikal are adjacent to the steppe. The most famous among them is Aya Bay.
Olkhon Island
There are two versions regarding the origin of the name of the island, both stem from the language of the Buryats, the indigenous inhabitants of Olkhon. According to the first, the name of the island means "a little wooded", and the second means "dry". Both words describe the island beautifully. After all, a third of the island is covered with forests and the amount of precipitation is extremely low - about 240 mm per year.
