The house on the river in Serbia





This unusual house in the midst of the Serb Drina River was built by local children about forty-five years ago. The main purpose of the construction was to create a secluded vacation spot. And they succeeded.

House was built on a rock in the middle of the river Drina, near the small Serbian town of Bajina Basta.
