About
Lake Obinitsa (Estonian: Obinitsa järv, also Obinitsa paisjärv, Tuhkvitsa veehoidla, or Tääglova veehoidla) is a lake in Estonia. It is mostly located in the village of Obinitsa in Setomaa Parish, Võru County, with a small part in neighboring Klistina. It is an artificial lake; construction of Lake Obinitsa on the Obinitsa Creek (also known as the Tuhkvitsa Creek) ended in 1995. The clear-watered lake is used for swimming, fishing, and boating. There is a sandstone outcrop and a cave that has formed because of springs on the left shore of Lake Obinitsa. The cave, associated with many legends, is called Juudatarõ. On the high banks of Lake Obinitsa stands the monument to the Singing Mother of the Seto People.
