Have a nice beginning of working week!

Lake Peipus is a large fresh water lake, on the border between Estonia and Russia in Northern Europe.
It is the fifth largest lake in Europe.

Lake Peipus is a remnant of a bigger body of water which existed in this area during an Ice Age. It covers 3,500 km², and has an average depth of 7 m, the deepest point being 15 m. The lake has several islands and consists of 3 parts:

* Lake Peipsi is the Northern part of the lake. It covers 2670 km².

* Pihkva Lake is the Southern part of the lake. It covers 710 km².

* Lake Lämmijärv is the sound connecting both parts of the lake. It covers 170 km².

Some 30 rivers and streams discharge into the Lake Peipus. Largest rivers are Emajõgi and Velikaya River. Lake is drained by Narva River.

In 1242 it was the site of the Battle of Lake Peipus (known in Russia as Battle on the Ice) between the Teutonic Knights and Novgorodians under Alexander Nevski.

Cheers!
