Vištytis, Border lake in Marijampolė County, Lithuania and Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia
Lake Vištytis extends over 17 square kilometers with depths reaching 54 meters, forming a natural border between Lithuania and the Russian territory.
The lake marked the boundary between Germany and Lithuania before World War II, leading to territorial negotiations that concluded with a 2003 border treaty.
The waters of Lake Vištytis connect two distinct regions, requiring careful navigation due to international border regulations between Lithuania and Russia.
Visitors can access the lake through the northern Lithuanian town of Vištytis, where local accommodations and facilities support outdoor activities.
The lake contains 15 separate water inflows and maintains a single outflow through the Pissa River, which connects to the broader Pregolya water system.
