Abstract: We review the status of the Baikal neutrino telescope, which is operating in Lake Baikal since 1998 and has been upgraded to the 10 Mton detector NT 200 + in 2005. We present selected physics results on searches for upward going neutrinos, relativistic magnetic monopoles and for very high-energy neutrinos. We describe the strategy of creating a detector on the Gigaton ( km 3 ) scale at Lake Baikal. First steps of activities towards a km 3 Baikal neutrino telescope are discussed.
