Hitchhiking out
West towards Saint Petersburg and Veliky Novgorod on 49K-13
Option 1 - End of Lenina Street:
- The exit from the city is at the end of Lenina Street. You can get there best by heading south from the railway station along Leningradskaya Street, or go a bit more towards Saint Petersburg to Mira Street, where the main traffic flow goes. At the edge of the city there is a gas station.
Northeast towards Lyubytino on 49K-13
Option 1 - End of Germana Titova Street:
- The city exit is at the end of Germana Titova Street — from the station, cross the railway crossing, then past the church and cemetery. At the edge of the city, there is a gas station. If you wish, you can take a suburban train to the Burga or Mstinsky Most stations — the road runs almost parallel to the railway, if the schedule works for you.
Towards Spas-Oskuy Pogost
Option 1 - Via Naberezhnaya Street:
- You need to get to Naberezhnaya Street on the right bank of the Malaya Visherka river — from the station cross the railway, then left along Gorolya, over the bridge, and turn right onto the street. Then, go through the village of Pustaya Vishera and get out onto the former narrow-gauge railway. All-terrain vehicles do pass here, but there are not many. Don't miss the turn — the pogost is located 3 km to the right, the road there is much more boggy. In the area of the pogost in spring, there are many ticks, and in the whole area, many bears — bear tracks are much more common than human ones.
Hitchhiking in
Traditionally, the city is known as the last transfer station for those traveling from Moscow to Saint Petersburg by hopping on local trains. This option is now more difficult due to rising costs of train tickets. Alternatively, you can enter by road 49K-13, coming from Saint Petersburg via Spasskaya Polist, from Veliky Novgorod via the same road, from the direct road branching from the bypass near the Moscow exit, or from Lyubytino (though this route has little traffic).
