No problems with neighbors: the house has been set on a rock in the middle of the river for 40 years.

For 45 years, this quaint little house has withstood every test that nature had to offer it. Balancing on a rock in the middle of the Drina River in Serbia, the house has been raging floods and strong winds, but still stood firm. The structure is located near the town of Bajna Bašta in Serbia and has become a famous landmark for visitors to the area.

Idea for building a house

The idea for building the house came about in 1968 when a group of young swimmers swimming in the river needed a place to rest. They found this rock and started using it regularly.

House construction

The following year, one of the swimmers turned the initial idea into an actual one-room house project. Parts and materials for construction were brought in by boat and kayak, and the larger elements were simply placed in the water upstream and caught as they floated down past the construction site.

The Drina River website calls it home on an islet of the Drina River and describes it as "a unique oasis of nature, a refuge from the constraints of civilization."
