"Staraya Angasolka" village. The great escape.
Visiting South lake Baikal area, "Staraya Angasolka" village. Where "Alp Base Angasolka"is located. One of the best hostels and activity centers
on lake Baikal. Very small village, no cars and just few houses.
Welcome to the land of peace and pure nature.
