Lake Dvin'ye

Lake Dvinye lies in the lake country southwest of Toropets, near Lake Zhizhitskoye. It is connected to Lake Velinskoye, from which the Dvinka flows toward the Western Dvina. Its low shores, islands and neighbouring waters form a landscape of interconnected lakes within the Baltic drainage basin. The nearby district was associated with the old Toropets lands, where lakes and rivers formed routes between scattered communities and the larger towns of the region.
