Shumak Nature Park of Buryatia | Russia

The Shumak Valley is a group of thermal and mineral springs - the youngest springs on the planet, located at a short distance from each other (more than 100 outlets). The Shumak springs have been known to the local population since time immemorial, as evidenced by inscriptions on the stones in the ancient Mongolian and Tibetan languages, which provide information on the healing properties of the springs and the rules for taking the water.

It is not easyto reach Shumak. You can go on foot, but it will be a serious test of spirit and health for many days, which not everyone can cope with.
