You can climb to both without special training and equipment. The first offers a view of Lake Baikal, the village and the Khamar-Daban ridge. The second one is on top of a cliff. You can climb it along a wide trail in about 30-40 minutes. On the one hand, it offers a gorgeous view of the wide flood plain of the Goloustnoye river, along it there is a road to the village, on the other hand, you can see the estuary with several channels and a chain of lakes at the confluence of Lake Baikal, also mountains of the opposite shore. It’s better to climb the platforms in good, sunny weather to take beautiful memorable pictures as a keepsake. Hiking, will raise your vitality and make a wonderful mood ...
