We'll have an opportunity to delve down the historical context of the Circum-Baikal Railway during the Civil War and hold arms findings in our hands like rifles and grenades. In one of the stone tunnels, we will watch a thrilling short film about the disappearance of the half of the imperial gold reserve lost during the retreat of Kolchak's army who used the Circum-Baikal Railway as their escape route.
After a walk down the shore, we'll invite you to a buffet. Later you can attend a master class on assembly/disassembly of old weapons. Marks of a rifle can tell not only the time and place of its production but also its full history that turned it into an artefact of the past.
In the evening, we'll go back to the hotel where you can seat in a gazebo at the lakeshore and watch the sunset.
