The Shumak area is famous for its springs, which are difficult to get to. It is located at 1558 meters over the sea level in the valley of the Shumak River 50 kilometers northeast from the famous health resort Nilova Pustyn. From Nilova Pustyn the horse trail leads to the Shumak passing through highest peak of the Tunka bald peaks - Shumaksky (2850m). The Shumak springs possess the best qualities of mineral waters from different regions like Tskhaltubo and Pyatigorsk in the Causcasus, Belokurikha in the Altai territory, Yamkun in Chita Oblast. Such a combination of valuable qualities is unique and the purest mountain air adds to the healing power. This wild resort has been attracting visitors for a long time.
