Cape Ryty (Russian: мыс Рытый) is a cape on the northwest coast of Lake Baikal, in the Irkutsk Oblast of Russia. The cape was named Ryty ("digged" in Russian) because of dried river horns, which form a digged image of narrow twisting ravines, pointing to Baikal. The cape is considered sacred by local indigenous population and is reverenced by Buryats and Evenks.
Cape Ryty entered the top five most hardly accessible and mysterious destinations, compiled by the Russian Tour Operators Association.
