We invite you to relax at the hot springs of the north of Lake Baikal – Hakusa. The composition of these sources is equivalent to therapeutic ones: warm and hot baths expand the capillaries of the skin and thereby improve the load on the heart. The siliceous composition of water has a beneficial effect on nerve endings and blood vessels.

A free program.
We recommend going for a night swim in the springs.

09:00 Breakfast (not included in the price).
10:00 Swimming in hot springs before lunch.
What could be more pleasant than the first rays of the spring Sun, when you are swimming in the pools in a swimsuit, and there is snow all around!?
14:00 Lunch.
15:00 Walk through the frozen forest.
We will walk along the river, which originates from the underground waters of Hakusa.
At first it is hot, and by the time it flows into Lake Baikal, it is already cooling down, but it is still warm.
That is why steam constantly rises from the river, which envelops the trees nearby.
Thanks to this effect, an amazing landscape of ice pines is obtained!

20:00 Board games.
