Dreverna is the old fishermen’s village that was first mentioned in 1253. The village is located on the coast of the Curonian Lagoon near the mouth of Dreverna River. The rare monuments of Lithuania Minor, i.e. christenings (krikštai) still can be found in the cemetery of Dreverna. The surroundings of Dreverna village for nearly 300 years were known as the location of famous fishmarket Strykis. Many hundreds of fishermen and merchants used to come to this market. Fishermen from Dreverna, Svencele and even from Nida, Karvaiciai with live fish used to arrive on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Merchants from Samogitia and Königsberg used to arrive too. Since volume of trade was very high, it had provoked protests of the merchants of Klaipeda in 1721.

Winter. Long nights and short days. Dawn after few hours turns into darkness. However you will not regret early wake-up. It doesn‘t matter that it is freezing outside. It doesn‘t matter that stars still shine high in the sky and yellow moon grins at you. Wake up and go, fish is waiting for you... Fish doesn‘t doze in winter, but fishermen do not doze too. Armed with ice drills, boxes and with backpacks on their shoulders they are standing around and waiting for their friends... Morning mood is simply great! Everybody praises weather, wind, pressure, wife for being so kind for her fisherman husband who decided to go fishing in the early morning. Everything is perfect. And according to their words perch are waiting to be caught by these happy men. But this is only in the morning… Try to talk to the same fishermen in the evening and they will tell you absolutely different things: east or north wind was blowing for a whole day, pressure drop occurred, weather was simply terrible. And they simply didn’t want to muddle along with small fish…

Thanks to many years of experience in commercial fishing and navigation in these waters we recommend you to consider our suggestions.
There are the left and right hollows that protect the entrance canal against coastal erosion. These hollows are noticeable only when a water level is very low, i.e. in September and October. In this case they are seen as hidden submerged obstacles which during the main period of navigation damage the propellers of the ships that enter the territory and yacht keels.
