Cape Ryty ({{langx|ru|мыс Рытый}}) is a cape on the northwest coast of Lake Baikal, in the Irkutsk Oblast of Russia. The cape was named Ryty ("dug" in Russian) because of dried river horns, which form a dug-out image of narrow twisting ravines, pointing to Baikal. The cape is considered sacred by local indigenous population and is revered by Buryats and Evenks.{{cite web | url =http://baikal-info.ru/archives/12359| title = Мыс Рытый на Байкале вошел число самых загадочных достопримечательностей России|publisher =Baikal-info.ru|language=Russian|date=6 September 2011| accessdate = 28 August 2012}}
