This small village is situated at the bottom of the Cavedine Valley and dominates the western slopes of the river Sarca Valley. Its geographic position allows it to enjoy the Mediterranean climate which is typical of Lake Garda, while still remaining in a mountain setting. Prehistoric man once lived in this area and the Romans built two roads to travel northwards. The completely restored castle of Drena belonged to the Counts of Arco in the year 1175. It was later destroyed by the French General Vendôme in the year 1703. Nowadays it is a meeting point for visitors, a congress centre and summer artistic performances. Milleniary chestnut trees grow in the woods around Drena and produce first quality chestnuts.
