Dubronjo

Dubronjo, known in Russian as Dubrovno, stands on a hill near the Udokha on the road between Pskov and Novgorod. A Novgorod birch-bark letter from the late eleventh century mentions the church district of Dubrovna, and chronicles later place it on the route of a Novgorodian campaign against Pskov. The hill bears the remains of an old fortified settlement, overlooking the wooded country through which travellers passed between the two cities.
