About
Lake Viljandi is in a primeval valley, which is 11 m deep, 450 m wide and 4600 metres long. The lake is well-known in Estonia thanks to the song about the boatman of VIljandi, who day-dreams about the beautiful blue eyes of a girl he once saw when he was young. The trail that goes around the lake will take hikers to the observation platform on the other shore where you will see a charming and unique silhouette of the town.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The stairs down from the Town Hall will bring you to the lake in 5 minutes. Ofcourse it will take you a bit longer to get up the hill again :-) I found the lake shore a pleasant place for a hot summer afternoon. You can go for a swim, rent a boat or just relax on the small beach. There are changing cabins, a play area for the kids and a café.

Very beautiful lake. It is possible to go to walk or run around the lake ( approximately 12 km) or take the boat trip. In summer you can go swimming. Folks know a story about Boatman of Viljandi and also there is nice old song Viljandi Paadimees.

The lakes of S Estonia - and indeed all over the Baltics - look beautiful and are very unspoiled with beautiful tree lined shores

You cannot visit Viljandi and not go see the lake. Best views are from the castle hill but once you go down there is a very good playground for children, opportunities to rent a boat etc.

The lake is really big, you can spend hours walking round it. The park in its surrounding is great, thick and beautiful. Really reccommend it.

Took 3.5 hrs to walk around the lake slowly and enjoying the views and nature. The trail is generally well marked.
