Pskovsky District, Municipal district in northwestern Pskov Oblast, Russia.
Pskovsky District is a municipal area in northwestern Pskov Oblast with varied geography. The western side borders Lake Peipus, which separates it from Estonia, while the Velikaya River flows through the territory.
The territory was long independent and part of the medieval Novgorod Republic before coming under the rule of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the early 16th century. This political shift connected the region permanently to the Russian state.
The district is home to ancient settlements and sacred sites that still shape the landscape today. Visitors can explore old villages that reflect traditions rooted in centuries past.
The western section lies within a border security zone and requires special permits for visits. Travelers should check in advance about necessary documentation and entry restrictions.
The Remdovsky Zakaznik nature reserve in the north is one of only three federally protected areas in the entire Pskov region. This reserve protects habitats found nowhere else with such legal safeguards nearby.
