Apart from being the deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal is also the prettiest and purest spot in Russia, thanks to the captivating landscapes and the clean atmosphere. One of the best Russia tourist attractions, it is located in the Siberia forests. Baikal is also dotted with several resorts making it an amazing holiday destination. If you can tolerate low temperatures, a visit during the winters is recommended since once the lake freezes it forms beautiful patterns due to the presence of high amount of oxygen. Apart from ice skating and skiing, travellers can enjoy their day relaxing in the natural hot springs.
