===Transportation=== [[File:Derzhavnaya.jpg|thumb|St. Dmitry Solounskiy cathedral in Gdov (1993)]] [[File:Вокзал станции Гдов.JPG|thumb|right|Abandoned Gdov railway station]] A railway line via Gdov connecting Narva and Pskov was built before WWI. Later a new line from Gdov to [[Slantsy, Leningrad Oblast|Slantsy]] and [[:ru:Веймарн|Veimarn]] was constructed and used for passenger and cargo connections to Leningrad. During WWII the Gdov–Pskov stretch was destroyed, thus making Gdov the terminal station. There was one pair of passenger trains daily servicing the St. Petersburg–Gdov route. In the mid-2010s, passenger traffic between Slantsy and Gdov was discontinued for commercial reasons. The railway between Slantsy and Gdov was deserted and, as of 2021, mainly demolished.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Теплов |first1=Игорь |title=Кингисепп и Сланцы: кто первый встал, того и тапки |url=https://rodinananeve.ru/kingisepp-i-slanczy-kto-pervyj-vstal-togo-i-tapki/ |work=Rodina na Neve |date=14 April 2021}}</ref> Between the 1950s and 1980s an unpaved [[Aerodrome|airfield]] in Gdov<ref>{{cite web |url=https://maps.aopa.ru/#lon/27.829245/lat/58.735135/z/15/bl/gs/type/1/p/292/mode/r/ll/a |title = Карта аэродромов России}}</ref> was used for commuter air transit to the neighbouring towns of Slantsy, Pskov and [[Tartu]] aboard an [[Antonov An-2]] passenger biplane. Gdov is connected by paved roads to Pskov, [[Kingisepp]] via Slantsy, and [[Plyussa]]. There are daily bus services to Pskov, Slantsy, [[Saint Petersburg]], and neighbouring villages. In the mouth of the [[Gdovka]] there is a harbour for fishing and leisure boats. However, due to the lack of customs and border guard offices, sailing to Estonia is not possible.
