Between the Rock and the River

The cabin on the banks of the Sázava River replaces its predecessor on the same site. After the original cabin burned down, only the stone plinth remained, which the new structure naturally incorporates. It provides protection from flooding and offers a sense of perspective — over the river and perhaps over everyday haste. Just slide open the shutter facing the river and then simply listen to the splashing water and the whisper of pines, watch kingfishers above the surface and rapids breaking around boulders. Grilling on the campfire, light the stove, talk with friends. In the evening, on the way to the small attic bedroom — just big enough for sleeping — the river horizon disappears and a view of the cliffs behind the cabin opens, reminding everyone how tightly the Sázava is enclosed between them here.
