Riding the Rails at Siberias Lake Baikal

Siberias Lake Baikal is the oldest and deepest freshwater lake in the world. The Circumbaikal Route hugs Lake Baikal along its most scenic leg of the TransSiberian Railway, with cliffs, tunnels, bridges, and natural beauty. For train buffs and travelers, this ride is epic and these rails an epic feat of engineering.
