Vaibla küla, Kolga-Jaani Vald Viljandi maakond, Estonia Phone: You have reached the shores of Estonia’s second largest lake. Although Lake Peipus is larger, it is shared between Estonia and Russia. The name of the lake (Võrtsjärv) is possibly derived from the reeds, which, known commonly as ‘võrrits’, grow plentifully along its shores.
Although Lake Võrtsjärv makes up 13% of the total surface area of all Estonia’s lakes, it is very shallow. Its average depth is 2.8 m and at its deepest it is 6 m.
