Svetlaya Polyana, Eco-ethnographic park in Maximikha, Russia.

The park extends across mountainous terrain near Lake Baikal, featuring exhibits about local cultures and ecological systems within traditional wooden structures.

The museum complex includes buildings constructed following seventeenth-century architectural methods, including an Orthodox chapel assembled without using nails.

The exhibitions present detailed information about the traditions and lifestyles of indigenous populations such as the Buryats and Evenks of the Baikal region.

Visitors need winter gear from November through May as temperatures can drop to -9°C, making outdoor activities more demanding during cold months.

The park combines educational displays with accommodation options in structures that replicate historical buildings, allowing guests to experience traditional living arrangements.
