Tiny House Perched Atop a Rock in the Middle of a River Withstands 45 Years of Floods

This <a href="http://inhabitat.com/hus-ett-is-a-stunning-micro-home-that-shines-like-a-slice-of-herring/">tiny home</a> may not look like much but it stands as a true powerhouse, braving decades of abuse from the most unrelenting natural elements. It's perched atop a rock in the middle of the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drina"> Drina River</a>, near the town of Bajina Basta, Serbia, and neither weather nor water has been able to knock it over. Don't believe us? Check out the jaw-dropping video of the home braving a torrential storm and flooding after the break!

The house was built back in 1968 by a group of boys who wanted a spot to sunbathe while at the river.

Rather than settling on the comfort of raw bedrock, they took to constructing a building from wood boards reclaimed from a nearby shed that had been destroyed.

Getting the<a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/materials"> materials</a> onto the rock was no easy task.

The wood was brought over by boat or<a href="http://inhabitat.com/awesome-oru-origami-kayak-folds-into-its-own-compact-carrying-case/"> kayak</a>, and heftier pieces were taken upstream and left to float downstream where they were caught by the boys on the rock.

In addition to a sun-bathing deck, the home boasts a small room.

While several severe storms and floods have wreaked havoc on the construction over the last 45 years, the home has always been brought back to good repair.
