Latvia lures tourists with mirror river house

This mirror cabin hangs over the river

and is the latest attraction for Latvian tourists

seeking a quiet place close to nature

Location: Amata

The glasshouse dangles on cables

and can move across the river

It has proven very popular with visitors

despite lacking modern amenities

like a toilet or a shower

(SOUNDBITE) (Latvian) MIRROR CABIN GUEST, JANA HERBSTA, WITH HER PARTNER, KALVIS KALNINS, SAYING:

“You naturally connect with the river, with the forest, and sometimes even with the animals. During the first night that we slept here, there was a moment when there were loud noises all of a sudden in the middle of the night. Someone just wandered across the river. Do you remember? We definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something new.”
