Kaisa Ancient Forest
Иркутск, Кайская роща (между ул. Лермонтова и Байкальской)
Kayskaya Relict Forest - a unique corner of nature within Irkutsk, situated between Lermontov Street and Baikal Avenue. It is the sole preserved ancient forest patch in the city where among century-old pines friendly squirrels eagerly accept treats from visitors. One can escape urban hustle here, enjoying silence and natural beauty. Infrastructure consists merely of scattered benches along forest paths.
