Drina river house

[2] The isolated rock on which the house is built is almost right in the middle of the river, close to the modern border between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

According to local legends, Medieval hero Kraljević Marko was travelling through the area and wanted to cross the river and reach the other side.

So Kraljević Marko climbed the Crvena Stena natural lookout in the vicinity and threw a large boulder into the Drina.

In the summer of 1968, brothers Milija and Milan Mandić, with a group of their friends, decided to build a cabin or a hut on the rock.

Lighter materials, including planks, were transported directly to the rock by the boats and kayaks, while the timber rafting was used for the heavier lumber logs.

The house soon became a favorite gathering place for the young people in Bajina Bašta and earned a reputation of a romantic getaway.
