Drina River House
Drina River House is a postcard-like landscape in Serbia, which has attracted the attention of the world because of its appearance in National Geographic magazine in August 2012. There is a very meaningful story behind Drina River House. In 1968, in order to enrich their childhood life, the two teenagers living in the town of Bayina Bashta built a small wooden house on the reef in the river at home as a base for their friends. Unfortunately, this small river will be flooded every March, and there will be a large-scale flood every 5-10 years. The original hut did not last long and was destroyed by a flood. However, the hearts of these two teenagers were as tough as Serbia, and they did not succumb to nature and rebuilt the hut time and time again. The cabin we are now in is the seventh generation.
