Lake Peipsi
- Lake Peipus is a large freshwater lake and is the northern component of the so-called Peipus-Pskov lake complex. The northern and western banks belong to the Republic of Estonia, the eastern - Russian Federation(The Pskov region and a small area at the source of the Narva River belongs to the Slantsevsky district of the Leningrad region). From the side of the Republic of Estonia, the lake is bordered from north to south by Ida-Viru County, Jõgeva County and Tartumaa County (Maakondy). The border between Russia and Estonia runs through the middle of the lake. Previously it was an inland reservoir of the USSR, and before that - Russian Empire, when the borders of the Pskov, St. Petersburg, Livonia and Estland provinces reached its shores. The territories adjacent to the lake are called Prichudye.
- Lake Peipsi is the third largest in Europe (after Lake Ladoga and Onega, which are entirely located within Russia). Its area is 2670 km². Together with the Tyoply and Pskov lakes, the area is about 3550 km². The mirror area fluctuates depending on changes in water level.
- The length of the lake is about 96 km, width - up to 50 km, average depth- 7.5 meters, the largest - 16.6 meters. Over 30 rivers and streams flow into the lake, fed by snow, rain and spring water. Only one border river, Narva, flows out. Water salinity is 0 ppm. The lake is rich in plankton, and therefore fish. The following types of commercial fish are found here: bream, perch, pike perch, pike, burbot, roach. In total there are 37 species of fish and 9 species of amphibians.
- The coastline is generally flat, but in the southwest, south, and southeast it is winding, with bays, spits and islands. The western coast is low-lying, very swampy in places, and prone to spring flooding; the eastern (Russian) coast is more elevated, although marshy areas interspersed with sand dunes and hills. In the south, Lake Peipus connects with Pskov Lake through the intermediate Warm Lake. Shallow water stretches along the coast for 200-300 meters.
- The lake attracts vacationers in the summer; in winter it is completely covered with a thick layer of ice. Winds from the south, west and southwest prevail over the lake. Due to the relative shallowness of the lake, steep waves quickly rise on it in windy weather, and therefore swimmers should not move away from the shore.
- On the hills above the lake there are agricultural lands and villages. The largest city on the Russian coast is Gdov; on the Estonian coast the villages of Kallaste and Mustvee stand out. The beauty of the landscapes of Lake Peipsi has long attracted the attention of poets, writers and artists from Russia and Estonia.
