The lake is the fifth largest in Europe after Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega in Russia north of St. Petersburg, Lake Vänern in Sweden, and Lake Saimaa in Finland.[2]
Lake Peipus-Pihkva is a remnant of a bigger body of water which existed in this area during an Ice Age. It covers 3,555 km2, and has an average depth of 7.1 m, the deepest point being 15 m.[3][4] The lake has several islands and consists of 3 parts:
- Lake Peipsi/Chudskoe (bahasa Estonia: Peipsi järv, bahasa Rusia: Чудское озеро) is the northern part of the lake with the area of 2611 km2 (73%).
- Lake Pihkva/Pskovskoe (bahasa Estonia: Pihkva järv, bahasa Rusia: Псковское озеро) is the southern part of the lake (area 708 km2 or 20%).
- Lake Lämmijärv/Teploe (bahasa Estonia: Lämmijärv, bahasa Rusia: Тёплое озеро) is the sound connecting both parts of the lake (area 236 km2 or 7%).
The lake is used for fishing and recreation, but suffered from some environmental degradation from Soviet era agriculture. Some 30 rivers and streams discharge into Lake Peipus. The largest rivers are Emajõgi and Velikaya River. The lake is drained by the Narva River.
In 1242, the lake was the site of the Battle on the Ice (bahasa Estonia: Jäälahing) between the Teutonic Knights and Novgorodians under Alexander Nevsky. -->
