Lake Baikal in Siberia is listed as a Unesco World Heritage site and was also voted as one of Russia's Seven Wonders. It's not hard to see why. Baikal is one of those rare spots on the earth where nature has still remained genuine and untouched. The magnificent landscapes – the lake is surrounded by high mountain chains - and the unique clarity of the crystal-clear water, which runs into a darkness teeming with fish. Siberians believe that Lake Baikal's water has curative properties, and habitually call it the freshwater. It is rich in oxygen, and as pure as distilled water. Baikal is the oldest and deepest lake in the world. The lake is so big, that it would take around four months, at normal walking speed, to walk all the way around it. Baikal is a world of its own, like nothing else on Earth. It's worth to see!
