From Sarajevo: Full-Day Hike to Lukomir Village

This is starting point of the tour.

Village where you will taste the best Bosnian pie ever. The history of this village is very rich, what you will se by visiting the necropolis of stećak tombstones from the 15th century

A 200 years old mosque in Umoljani is one of national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mosque had survived turbulent history of country and preserves very old Ottoman tombstones. Near mosque is medieval necropolis which is visited as well.

Hiking trail is passing near Studeni Potok. Studeni Potok (Studeni Potok) is a intermittent stream (class H - Hydrographic) in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia And Herzegovina (Europe) with the region font code of Eastern Europe. It is located at an elevation of 949 meters above sea level.

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 practiced. 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.

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.

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 kilometers from Sarajevo. The canyon's headwaters are found at 1,120 meters above sea level and the confluence of the Rakitnica and Neretva is at 320 meters 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.

After the finished hike there is return to Umoljani and Sarajevo afterwards for which can be provided a car on request. In Sarajevo you will have transfer to your drop-off location.
