People living on the shores of the lake are connected by the lake and its ecosystem services. Traces of history and different tribes can be found in language and culture, which is why the region is very fragmented, but it provides a lot of material to visit lake Peipsi area. 

Last year, the heritage trail introducing lake Peipsi area by dialects got off the ground. The online map can be found at https://ctc.ee/peipsimaa/e-kaart-parandirada. The web map on the website of the Peipsi Center for Transboundary Cooperation gives an overview of the points of interest in Peipsi based on the region's linguistic and cultural characteristics. On the basis of the map, you can get to know, for example, Kodavere dialect, oldbelivers dialect, Räpina dialect, Seto language and others. with tracks. In the follow-up project Heritage Hunters, we are moving forward with the presentation of lake Peipsi area linguistic and cultural distinctiveness, including the distribution of the created video and printed material. The development of joint marketing ideas promoting cooperation between museums and cultural heritage centers is engaged in. By autumn, the Heritage Hunters game introducing the attractions of lake Peipsi area will be ready, which will take both big and small heritage lovers on an adventure and discover attractions near museums and cultural heritage centers and become aware of the linguistic peculiarities of different regions. The project's activities support the cooperation of border communities in the preservation and promotion of cultural and historical heritage.
