WEST COAST

The West coast of Olkhon Island faces the "small sea". The population of the island lives along this coast, mainly in Kuzhir village. A lot of sacred spots are also located in this area, as well as the remainings of an old goulag. Among the sacred spots, Burkhan rock is the most important.
