Overview

Step beyond the usual cities and discover Lukomir, the last traditional Bosnian nomad village, where life still follows customs passed down for centuries. Located at 1,495 metres above sea level, it is the highest inhabited village in Bosnia and Herzegovina, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and views over the Rakitnica Canyon.

On the way, you will pass through the peaceful village of Umoljani and see Studeni Potok, a unique stream that curves through the landscape like a snake. In Lukomir, you will enjoy a homemade lunch with a local family, tasting authentic traditional dishes, including vegetarian options.

In winter, if possible, the experience becomes even more special with a snowshoeing adventure through the snowy mountains. This tour is not only about nature, but about meeting local people and experiencing a way of life that still lives on in the Bosnian highlands.

It is located at an elevation of 949 metres above sea level.

Lukomir

  • 4h
Lukomir is Bosnia’s highest and most isolated mountain village. Lukomir is like a living ethnological museum, where the customs of nomadic tribes and Dinaric highlanders are still practised. It is interesting for its unique stone houses with cherry-wood roof tiles. Indeed, access to the village is impossible from the first snows in December until late April and sometimes even later, except by skis or on foot. A newly constructed lodge is now complete to receive guests. From there, you can do some magnificent hiking in the area along the ridge of the Rakitnica Canyon.

Studeni potok

  • 50m
One of the longest streams that by its silly flow has made an wonderful nature art in the canyon between the mountains, which looks like a snake. There is a very exciting legend about this creature, that you will hear on your tour.

Rakitnica canyon

  • 2h 30m
Our hiking to Lukomir is taking place on the edge of Rakitnica canyon. Rakitnica River, one of the largest tributaries of the deep Neretva River, has carved a largely inaccessible, 26-kilometer-long and incredibly beautiful canyon between Bjelašnica and Visočica Mountains. Rakitnica Canyon is one of the deepest canyons in Europe and this truly natural wonder is only 30 kilometres from Sarajevo. The canyon's headwaters are found at 1,120 metres above sea level and the confluence of the Rakitnica and Neretva is at 320 metres above sea level. Thanks to its unique beauty and inaccessibility, Rakitnica Canyon serves as a true challenge for mountaineers, rafters, fishermen and everyone else who loves wild and untouched nature.

Sarajevo
