If you approach the Truvorov settlement itself, an amazing panorama of the remains of the fortress will appear before your eyes. The fortress is very well located: on the top of a high hill in the shape of a triangle. On one side it is protected by Gorodishchenskoe Lake and the Dry Swamp, on the other by Velesov Ravine and the Zmeinaya Balka tract. Alas, bad weather did not allow me to go down to the Altar Stone, which served as an idol in pagan times, the “Head of Veles” stone... In the hollow you can see the gate - the old entrance to the settlement. At the top of the rampart there is an Estonian security sign dating back to the times when the Pechora district of the Pskov region was part of Estonia (1920-1940s). Truvorovo settlement is one of the places associated with the earliest pages of the Old Russian state. A must visit here.

We spent the whole day in Izborsk and received a lot of positive emotions. Expositions, exhibitions, special thanks to our guide Sofia. We talked with the local residents, they were open, hospitable, and loved their small homeland. We learned a lot of interesting things. The pancake place is super, the local cat is very well-mannered.

From here, amazing! Already captures the spirit! The only downside is that you need to go here through the existing cemetery.

One of the important places in the history of Russia, which is associated with the legendary Varangian Truvor, one of the Rurik brothers. Visually it looks like a pointed triangular cape, all excavations have been mothballed, only the old wooden gates have been restored. On the territory of the settlement is the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of the 17th century. Near the settlement there is an ancient cemetery with preserved stone crosses from the 15th century. One of the crosses, taller than a human being, is known as the Truvor cross.
