Lost village

Eesti-Perevoloka

Eesti-Perevoloka stood on the west bank of the Narva river, next to Karoli village. Its Slavic name means a portage, a place where boats were dragged overland: when the water was low, or where rapids blocked the way, boatmen hauled their craft along the bank here. The village belonged to Permisküla parish in Virumaa and has long since disappeared, leaving only its name to recall the old river trade.

Eesti keeles

Eesti-Perevoloka asus Narva jõe läänekaldal Karoli küla kõrval. Selle slaavi juurtega nimi tähendab lohistuskohta: madala veeseisu ajal või kärestike juures tuli paadid siin kallast mööda lohistada. Küla kuulus Virumaal Permisküla valda ja on ammu kadunud – alles on vaid nimi, mis meenutab vana jõekaubandust.
