Irkutsk Dam
Best time to visit
Posjetite u vrijeme zalaska sunca za zlatnu svjetlost iznad rijeke. Zima (decembar-februar) je najspektakularnija zbog kontrasta između leda i tople vode koja stvara paru.
Budget tips
Nema ulaznice za šetnju po brani. Besplatno parkiranje u okolnom području. Ponesite vlastiti fotoaparat jer je iznajmljivanje na lokaciji prilično skupo.

About
Quick facts: This 2.5-kilometer dam holds back the Angara River and was the first built in the Lake Baikal region. Its hydroelectric capacity reaches 662.4 MW, enough to power more than 300,000 homes in the Irkutsk region.
Highlights: In winter, the water flowing from the turbines never freezes, creating a 20-kilometer warm river that becomes a gathering place for thousands of water birds. These birds come from all over Siberia to spend the winter in the warm open water, a phenomenon that does not occur at other dams in the region.
Insider tips
- Nosite cipele protiv klizanja zimi jer trotoari na brani mogu biti klizavi zbog mraza.
- Slikajte sa desne strane brane za savršen ugao sa transmisionim tornjem i zaleđenom rijekom u pozadini.
- Preskočite tehnički muzej na ulazu koji je slabo održavan, idite direktno na osmatračku palubu na zapadnom kraju brane.
