Today we'll show you around the Residence and offer you some relaxing activities. You can take a real Siberian banya with oak besoms or drink some tea with taiga herbs, berries and spices. Distance yourself from the city bustle and clear your consciousness and perception to have the most out of your week on Lake Baikal!
After the banya, try playing some games to shut yourself off completely from the world outside. What about a game of pool? Maybe your childhood board games? Or maybe just relax a little? Just take a seat beside the fireplace or lie down on a wolfskin in front of it.
The whole Residence is at your service!
