Further to the theme of very small islands inside lakes or near beaches (see previous posts starting from the one dated 23rd September 2024, up to the one dated 2nd February 2025), here is the Drina river house — a wooden, cabin-like house on the rock in the middle of the Drina river, near the town of Bajina Bašta in western Serbia. The original shelter was built in 1968 by a group of swimmers, but was washed away when the rainy season came. Until 2019, the shelter was destroyed 7 times, but it was rebuilt every time.

The house became one of the most photographed objects in Serbia. A photo of it was chosen as one of the Photos of the Month of ‘’National Geographic’’ in August 2012. ‘’Business Insider’’ named it among 16 “wackiest” houses, while numerous world magazines wrote stories about it.
