A settlement on the Saint Petersburg–Pskov line by the Plussa River — old station, bridge and forest country without Kremlin tourism.
Plussa Railway Station
Plussa lies in the oblast north on the Saint Petersburg–Pskov railway. The settlement grew around the station and river crossing; today a few streets, station, shops and wooden houses. The Plussa River runs through — a small forest stream with bridge and sandy banks. Locals swim in summer; cautious ice in winter. Mixed forest and boggy lowlands around. Not a tourist hub but a transit point on northern routes. Feel the rhythm of a small station: trains, passengers, quiet between services. From Plussa drive toward Gdov or Strugi Krasnye — roads link to northern districts. An hour suffices: station, bridge, short shore walk. Lodging with locals or in neighbouring towns.
How to get there
Train to Plussa from Saint Petersburg and Pskov; ~120 km north from Pskov by car.
Best season
May–September for walks; winter mainly train transit
