The port of Mustvee is located on Lake Peipus.
Lake Peipus (Estonian: Peipsi-Pihkva järv) is an inland body of water located between Estonia and Russia. At 3,555 km², it is approximately seven times the size of Lake Constance and is the fifth largest lake in Europe.
The lake stretches 143 km north-south and is up to 50 km wide. Together with the Narva River, its outlet to the Baltic Sea, it forms almost the entire eastern border between Estonia and the Russian Federation.

The body of water is not only Estonia's largest lake, but also Europe's largest. With its 143 kilometers in length and 48 kilometers in width, the lake appears like a sea to visitors. The other shore is no longer visible from some spots.
In the middle of Lake Peipus stretches the Estonian-Russian border. This fact makes the lake an external border of the European Union. The body of water became known through the battle between Russia and the German Knights in the 13th century.
