Lake Obinitsa (Estonian: Obinitsa järv, also Obinitsa paisjärv, Tuhkvitsa veehoidla, or Tääglova veehoidla) is a lake in Võru County, on the eastern side of the village of Obinitsa in Estonia. The length of the waterline is 4534 metres and surface area of the basin is 43 km². The construction of Lake Obinitsa at the base of Tuhkvitsa Creek ended in 1995. The beautiful clear-watered lake is suitable for swimming, fishing as well as for boating trips. 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.[1]
