Dedino: Open-Air Exhibition and Historical Sites

Dedino combines an open-air exhibition with historical sites nearby. The exhibition is in the village; cup-marked cemeteries and a stone cross add another cultural dimension to your stay. This mix is of interest if, when choosing your destination, you want to consider not only a specifically named exhibition site but also history in the surrounding area. The individual sites differ in their location, names, and dating.

Open-Air Exhibition

The open-air exhibition is in Dedino and can be visited on the way to Kurhan Druzhby. It is part of a route launched in 2025. If you plan to include this cultural site, check the current visiting arrangements before your visit. This helps you keep its specific connection to the route to Kurhan Druzhby in mind when planning, without mistaking the exhibition for a separate, standalone excursion destination.

Historical Sites Nearby

Cup-Marked Cemetery 1 is 0.2 km southeast of Dedino, on the right-hand side of the Gdov–Pskov road. It is dated to the 12th to 17th centuries. Two details help with orientation: the direction is given in relation to Dedino, and the side of the road in relation to the Gdov–Pskov road. This makes its location description different from those of the sites near the gardens of Dedino.

Cup-Marked Cemetery 2 is 0.03 km west-northwest of the gardens of Dedino and is also dated to the 12th to 17th centuries. Its area is 0.01 ha, equivalent to 10 × 10 m. Here, the gardens are the reference point for both direction and distance. The additional measurement in metres makes the area easier to picture and can be read alongside the historical dating as a separate point of reference.

The stone cross is also 0.03 km west-northwest of the gardens of Dedino. It dates from the 14th to 17th centuries; its stated area is also 0.01 ha (10 × 10 m). It therefore shares its direction, distance from the reference point, and area measurement with Cup-Marked Cemetery 2. Their names also distinguish the two sites: a cup-marked cemetery and a stone cross.

The dating of the three historical sites differs, as do their spatial reference points: Dedino is the reference point for Cup-Marked Cemetery 1, while the gardens are the reference point for Cup-Marked Cemetery 2 and the stone cross. The figures therefore cannot be compared as three distances from a shared starting point. This distinction helps you understand the historical sites without conflating their different location descriptions.
