Updated: August 2026<\/em> | Lake Peipus is located on the border between Estonia and Russia and is Europe's fifth largest lake. Along the Estonian western shore, small villages, long sandy beaches, smoked fish and a very special culture surrounding the Russian Old Believers who settled here several hundred years ago await. We traveled along the lake in a camper van, ended up at a village festival, visited an onion grower and a museum about the Old Believers \u2013 and spent the night right by the water.<\/p>
