The children grew up and began to live around the lake, which people called Ivan-Nuur, that is, Ivan-lake.

One of the many rivers of Transbaikalia, cutting through the Chersky ridge, with a turbulent current and cold water, in which you can see grayling galloping on the rapids. In the upper reaches of Nikishikha there is a zoological reserve, and where the river passes through the ridge, a climbing wall was recently built, where you can go with your family and, under the guidance of experienced instructors, conquer the rocks of the ridge.
Archaeological site of the Trans-Baikal Territory during the early Paleozoic. Local historians say that this place owes its name to an unhappy officer by the name of Sukhotin, who was brought to the top of the formidable rocks by alcohol and unhappy love. He threw himself down and smashed against the stones, which Ingoda sharpens day and night, and a group of rocks and a section of the forest around were called Sukhotino. In order to visit there, it is enough to take a minibus to the Klyuchi plant and go up the river to the slope. All beauty is on the cliff. The rocks are piled above Ingoda to a height of 100 meters, and sitting on the top you can watch the slow and measured flow of the river, hear its quiet distant lapping, enjoy the view of the hills and breathe the cleanest air.
The widest, deepest river flowing in the Chita region. It is a pleasure to observe its changeable character - in some places it demonstrates a stormy disposition, quickly running along the rifts, and somewhere slowly and calmly carries its waters in a mirror-like surface so that the current is almost imperceptible. Ingoda is beautiful at any time of the year, the photo is captured in the winter tranquility of sleeping under a thick cover of an ice blanket.
