Vahendeile, also known as the Vahendeile River, is a significant waterway in the northern region of Estonia. It is a tributary of the Narva River, which in turn flows into the Gulf of Finland. The river originates in the Lake Peipus, the second-largest lake in Estonia, and flows through several municipalities, including Setomaa and Jõgeva. The Vahendeile River is approximately 100 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, providing habitat for various fish species and supporting the biodiversity of the region.

The river has been historically important for transportation and trade. In the past, it was used for the transportation of goods and people, connecting various settlements along its course. Today, the Vahendeile River is also a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. The riverbanks are lined with forests and meadows, offering scenic views and opportunities for nature walks.

The Vahendeile River is part of the larger Narva River basin, which is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This designation recognizes the region's ecological significance and the need for sustainable management practices. The river and its surrounding areas are protected under various environmental laws and regulations to ensure the preservation of its natural resources and the well-being of its inhabitants.
