This settlement is noteworthy for the Pskov-caves Monastery, the only monastery that has never been closed at any point during its existence. The monastery currently consists of nine churches, which are all quite a sight to behold. Most interesting however are the caves beneath the monastery, which serve as a burial site for pilgrims and monks, but are open to the public. You can reach Pechory by taking bus 126 from Pskov central station (08:00, 13:30) or bus 207 (11:00 except Mon, 15:30, 19:38 except Tue and Thu). Bus tickets can be bought at the station.
