'''Pskov''' (Russian: Псков, Latvian: Pleskava, Estonian: Pihkva, Lithuanian: Pskovas, German: Pleskau) is an ancient city located in the north-west of [[Russia]] about 20 kilometers east from the [[Estonia]]n border, on the Velikaya River. The city of Pskov serves as the administrative center of [[Pskov Oblast]].
==Hitching OutHitchhiking through =====North towards [[St. Petersburg]]===If you are coming from the South along the M20 (from the South of [[Latvia]] or [[Belarus]], there is no need to enter the city itself. Your driver might bring you to the crossing of the M20 with the ''Krestovskoe Schosse'', where traffic turns west into Pskov. You will recognize some old Sovjet monument and a lot of street dogs (at least at night) on the right. Get out here and walk up along the street. Hitchhiking is possible everywhere, though maybe just before the railway bridge might be useful. Behind the bridge you'll also find a petrol station. About 4-5 km north there's also a police post located, those are great for hitchhiking.
===Experiences===* If you are coming from [[User:Platschi|PlatschiRiga]] hitchhiked in front along the E77 you have to get to the M20 as well. There is a kind of by-pass north of the city, but you have to cross part of the city anyway. Coming into Pskov on the first bigger crossing go left and follow ''Yubilejnaya Ulitsa'' (after the bridge at 4 am ''Chudskaya ulitsa'') for about 3km, then turn left. Here you could start hitching. After another 2km you have to turn right on the by-pass which leads onto the M20 after 10km. Basically you have to follow the signs for [[St. Petersburg]] (or until the by-pass also towards [[Gdov]] if there are are no signs for Petersburg). Where the by-pass joins the M20 cars have to slow down and got you can easily hitch a ride easily. However, though it might be aware of easier to cross the dogs city and to try to get to the crazy woman screaming all over the railway stationabove mentioned ''Krestovskoe Schosse''s soundsystem.
=== Experiences ===
* [[User:Platschi|Platschi]] hitchhiked in front of the bridge at 04:00 and got a ride easily, though be aware of the dogs and the crazy woman screaming all over the railway station's soundsystem.
