Travel Guide Kazachinskoye ())

The ancient village of Kazatchinskoïé, founded in 1650, stretches over 5 km along the river. On the site of the old fortress is now a timber company. The boat approaches the fast Kazatchinsky. In this place, the current is 18 to 20 km/h and the waves sometimes rise up to 1,50 m. Vessels must be guided by a pilot boat to borrow the narrow channel. Then there is the Village of Strelka (point of land), an important transit port at the confluence of two major Siberian rivers, lenisseï and Angara. It is in this port that the Bois timber is loaded on barges to be transported to the south, in Krasnoyarsk, or to the north, in Igarka. Just after the village, where the Yenisey and the Angara converge, the great course of the river opens in sight. But, over several kilometres, the Fille, the daughter of the Baikal, differs from the Yenisey by its clear and bluish water. The bed of the Yenisey becomes much wider, deeper and more transparent.
