Infantry cabin of the Czechoslovak fortification, located in Brdy on the Jordán target area, on the northern slope of the Houpák hill at an altitude of 760 metres. The building crosses the cadastral boundaries of the municipalities of Obecnice in the Příbram district and Malá Víska in the Beroun district. Until the end of 2015, it was located inside the Brdy military unit in the Příbram district, which was abolished on 1 January 2016. The infantry cabin was built in 1936 for the purpose of testing equipment and armament of heavy fortifications. In August 2012, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic declared the building CE "Jordán" a cultural monument. Since 2017, the log cabin has been administered by the Military Historical Institute Prague.

The lodge, which was declared a cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture in 2014, was acquired by VLS in 2016 after the cancellation of the Military District of Brdy and the establishment of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area. Until then, it served as a training center for soldiers. In the 1880s, it was built by Prince Jeroným Colloredo-Mannsfeld, who owned this part of Brdy along with the estates of Dobříš and Zbiroh. The building was designed by the Vienna-born architect of Italian descent, Camillo Sita, in the spirit of waning Romanticism. After the government established the Military District of Brdy in 1926, the building became a popular resting place for military commanders and politicians; in the 1930s, Tomáš Garrique Masaryk and Edvard Beneš also visited. During the German occupation, Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch stayed there. After 1948, it served as accommodation for generals, officers, and politicians, regularly welcoming representatives of the Warsaw Pact. This is why it has been maintained in good condition. Unfortunately, you can’t go inside the lodge, although, the new visitor’s centre The Brdy Nature Home is open here, and if you go a little bit further, you can enjoy a view over the region from the Třítrubecká lookout point. https://www.dumprirody.cz/en/the-brdy-house-of-nature/
