# Lake Baikal

[**Edit this place**](https://cycleplanet.org/poi/003f9cf1-2256-4332-b034-850a48880847/edit)

The biggest and deepest sweetwater lake in the world, located in the heart of Siberia, not far from the city of Irkutsk.

This absolute pearl of nature is really stunning in summer as it is in winter. For cycling it could be even better in the winter as one could cycle over the icelayers of this gigantic frozen lake.
