Drina River House, Serbia
The Drina River House was built by two brothers in 1968 and is situated in the middle of the Drina River not far from the Serbian town of Bajina Bata. Sadly, it immediately washed away during the rainy season, but it was restored in later years. Approximately 20,000 visitors passed by the house during the first Drina Regatta in 1994, which helped the house become well-known around the world. It is currently one of Serbia’s most popular photo locations.

Takasugi-an, Japan
Takasugi-an, a teahouse in Nagano, Japan, is a peculiar-looking building made of felled trees rammed into the ground. Visitors must ascend one rickety ladder, take off their shoes, and then ascend another shaky ladder to reach the teahouse. The teahouse is charming and comfortable inside, but be aware that the wind may cause the building to sway. Because “Takasugi-an” means “too high” in Japanese, whoever constructed the tower must have had a sense of humor.
