A town on a chain of forest lakes on the Belarus border — fishing, quiet and wooden housing without Pskov tourist traffic.
Sebezh and Lakes
Sebezh lies in the oblast's south-west on Lakes Sebezh, Zadorenje and others. A small town of wooden houses, station and market. Lakes in mixed forest; boggy and sandy shores. Popular with local anglers and hunters; modest tourist base — holiday camps, guest houses, a few cafés. Summer swimming; winter skiing and ice fishing. A border town — the road to Belarus passes nearby. Calm mood, no crowds; an oblast edge rarely reached by Pskov excursion buses. Lakes linked by channels and streams; plan a car loop with stops at different shores. Midges and ticks in forest — typical north-west scenery. A 2–3 day base for fishing and walks or a stop between Pskov and Vitebsk.
How to get there
~180 km south-west from Pskov by car; train to Sebezh station.
Best season
June–August for water; winter for experienced ice anglers
