Located on the western shore of Lake Baikal , 16 km north-east of the marina of Listvyanka . In summer, a hydrofoil boat (type “Sunrise”) goes to the village from Irkutsk through Listvyanka; in winter, a temporary automobile path runs along the ice of the lake. From Listvyanka to Bolshiye Koty, a hiking trail along the coast about 20 km long ^[2] , a part of the Great Baikal Trail, is arranged.

According to one version, the village got its name from the word “cats”, or “cats”. So in these places was called wooden shoes, which were made for convicts.
