Uzury
Узуры
A weather station and small settlement on Olkhon’s northeastern shore, with tall cliffs and views across to the Svyatoy Nos Peninsula; one of the endpoints of the long northern route.
Uzury lies on the northern stretch of Olkhon’s east coast. It has only a weather station and a few houses, and it faces the widest and deepest part of Lake Baikal. The shore cliffs are tall. Across the lake is the Svyatoy Nos Peninsula in Zabaikalsky National Park, whose outline is sharp on clear days, and early mornings often bring lake mist over the village. It can be reached by continuing from Cape Khoboy along a bumpy forest dirt road. It is usually included in longer northern-route trips and adds about 1–2 hours compared with the regular northern route. There are no supplies along the way, so bring your own water and food.
