This small hamlet on the southern shore of Lake Peipus in northeastern Estonia is the southernmost Old Believer village on the Estonian side of the lake, with a prayer house completed in 1903 by local villagers and a branch of the Kolkja Old Believers' Museum covering traditional life. The Samovar House, opened in 2020, displays a private collection of over 200 samovars. Annual events include a fish market in April and an onion and cranberry fair in September.
