A settlement on the Saint Petersburg–Pskov line by the Plussa River — old station, bridge and forest country without Kremlin tourism.

Region: Pskov OblastCoordinates: 58°26′N 29°22′E

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
