Volunteers of the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant (UUAP) of the Russian Helicopters holding of the Rostec state corporation have begun construction of a section of a bicycle and pedestrian tourist route on the shore of Lake Baikal in the Baikal State Natural Biosphere Reserve, the press service of UUAP reported.
The Baikal Trail has long been a place of attraction for volunteers from all over the country. It is extended annually and is now about 200 km. The trail includes recreation areas with benches, bridges over ravines and small rivers, and a well-maintained infrastructure of tourist routes around Lake Baikal.
Buryat aircraft manufacturers under the leadership of the well-known environmentalist of Buryatia, Andrey Suknev, founder of the Great Baikal Trail, have already built a 20-meter bridge across the Osinovka River in Tankhoi, the capital of the Baikal State Natural Biosphere Reserve. He connected the two banks of the river and made accessible a 100-meter section of the trail from the Siberian tract (Moskovsky tract). All subsequent summer weekends the volunteers plan to gradually continue the Baikal trail.
The organizers of the project plan to surround the entire Baikal with an equipped cobbled path passing through stunningly beautiful places.
