Five tourist routes are reopened at the territory of the Pribaikalsky National Park, including both banks of the Anga River, Aya and Ushot bays. A footpath beginning in The Tyomnaya Pad’ station and finishing at The Old Angasolk is opened too.

Permission for following touristic routes is issued in the Zapovednoye Pribaikalye office in Irkutsk and at some local forest districts of Pribaikalsky National Park.

Tourists are welcome to try routs uninfluenced by the fire hazards. Guests from different Russian regions and abroad can choose to visit such capes as the Polovinny, Tolstiy and Katorzhanka near Circum-Baikal Railway, a cave complex, a cave path along the western coast of the Baikal lake and Olkhon Island.

Unfortunately, there are still fire risks in some other places. They will stay closed until the emergency mode is over. In case the situation with fires does not change, other routes will be closed as well.
