Paala lake swimming spot

Maudykla, Viljandimaa

This bathing spot lies on the lower, larger basin of Paala järv in Viljandi’s Paalalinna district, where the town maintains an official swimming beach with a playground. Lifeguards supervise the water daily from 12:00 to 20:00 during the official season, June 1 to August 31, and a green flag is raised at the beach only when water quality testing allows swimming. In winter the same lake becomes a popular natural ice skating route, maintained by a local cycling club when ice conditions are safe.
