From here the trail is guiding you another 4km further along the shore of Lake Baikal. Although it might be a little challenging sometimes to walk on the old rails, it is the best way to understand, why this part of the old Transsib route, was the most expensive one.
A variety of tunnels, bridges and viaducts accompany you on your way to Kultuk. In any case you should be careful, because this route is still in use, but normally only once in the morning respectively in the evening. Depending on personal preference three options are offered to go back from Kultuk to Irkutsk: either by bus, by marshrutka or by elektritshka. Admittedly it has to be pointed out that the railway station of Kultuk is hard to find, but close to the local cemetery. Alternatively it is of course possible to go on foot to Sludyanka, but the trail we only recommend to use this way during winter time, when the lake is frozen.
When getting off the train in Angasolka, a trail leads through the entire village down into the valley. From here a steep and muddy - at least in the beginning path leads up to the rails of Transsib (Attention! This route is highly frequented by trains) and further to the crest, where Lake Baikal and the village Kultuk are already visible.
