Orekhovna

Orekhovna lies in the forest country near the upper Ugra, on the watershed between the Dnieper and Oka basins. The Ugra flows east to the Oka, while neighbouring streams run toward the Dnieper. This region formed part of the changing borderlands between Lithuania and Moscow. Forest and scattered clearings mark the country around the village, where the upper river valleys provide routes through the uplands.
