Lake Suurjärv in Rõuge
Lake Suurjärv - Big Lake, or as the locals call it, 'Witch's Lake' - forms part of a chain of lakes in Rõuge valley. The lake formed at the end of the last ice age due to the eroding action of melting ice.

It is the deepest lake in Estonia (38 metres). There is a well-maintained public beach by the lake. A hiking trail runs along the shoreline.
Rõuge Suurjärv is one of the 21 places in Southern Estonia worth discovering which are marked by a yellow National Geographic window; if you love nature, a visit is highly recommended.

самое глубокое озеро в Эстонии
Большое красивое озеро среди живописных холмов- утки, лебеди и другая живность, можно покататься на лодке, рядом еще несколько озер поменьше, природа- супер
