Lake Baykal Slyudyanka. Slyudyanka Railway Station. Full HD The Baykal State Biosphere Reserve is located in the Republic of Buryatiya and occupies the central part of the Khamar-Daban mountain range, which stretches along the southern shore of Lake Baykal. The central property of the reserve is located in the village of Tankhoy. To get from Irkutsk to Tankhoy, we have to drive 217 km on a very well-maintained highway. And it will take about 4 hours. Today we have four points on the plan: The first point is the village of Slyudyanka, or rather a visit to the Slyudyanka railroad station. After all, this is the only railroad station in the whole world that is made entirely of marble! Then we want to visit the visitor center and the Lake Baykal reserve, see the real Barguzin sable and hike along the so-called eco-path, the Path to Lake Baykal. It is 4 km long. In honor of the mineral mica, known as ’Slyuda’ in Russian, the city was named Slyudyanka. Mica has been mined around this place for three hundred and fifty years. And it was once considered one of the most valuable goods transported from Siberia to the central regions of the Russian Empire. In 1975, mica mining was discontinued and the ore extraction in Slyudyanka was rededicated to the extraction of white and pink marble. The Moscow metro stations Barrikadnaya and 1905 Goda Street, for example, are lined with marble from Slyudyanka. And now, of course, it’s time to remember the main attraction of Slyudyanka - the railway station building. After all, it is the only railway station building in the world made entirely of marble! It is said that it was originally planned to build the station out of ordinary bricks. And it is said that the Italian workers who participated in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway came up with the idea of using marble from a nearby quarry instead of bricks. The station was opened to visitors in mid-1904. On the platform there is a bust of the Minister of Railways of the Russian Empire, Prince Mikhail Ivanovich Khilkov. It was Mikhail Ivanovich who decided to build a junction station on Lake Baykal at this location. The only Orthodox church in Slyudyanka, the Church of St. Nicholas, is located directly opposite the station. The Church of St. Nicholas was named in honor of Emperor Nicholas II because it was built after Nicholas expressed his displeasure at the lack of an Orthodox church in the settlement during his visit to Slyudyanka. During the Soviet era, the church building was used as a house of culture for railroad workers. Today, the temple serves its intended purpose as a place of worship, where devotees come together to offer their prayers and participate in religious ceremonies. The temple building has the status of a historical and cultural monument of federal significance. Attractions in Slyudyanka also include a water tower, a steam locomotive and a house of culture for railroad workers. LINKS: Irkutsk. Hotel Central: Irkutsk. First day: Taltsy.
