What you can expect

Meet your guide in Sarajevo and begin your journey with a scenic drive to Umoljani village. Explore the village’s most important sites, such as Studeni Potok (Cold Creek), Stoned Dragon – Ažbaha – the legend of the birth of Umoljani. Visit Umoljani Mosque and learn the story of Sarajevo Haggadah.

Begin your hike from Umoljani to Lukomir village, a 3.5-hour trek that takes you from a starting point of roughly 1,275 meters (Umoljani) across the peak of Obalj at around 1,896 meters. Pass by the old Gradina settlement, believed to date from the Illyrian period.

At the top of Obalj, take in stunning views of Rakitnica Canyon and the mountains of Treskavica, Visocica, and the peak of Bjelašnica mountain, with numerous small villages in the distance.

Hike down to Lukomir village at an altitude of 1,500 meters. Depending on the time of year, you may find fields of blueberries, rosehip, certain types of mushrooms, thyme, or other plant species around you, free to pick up.

Arrive in Lukomir, a village that dates back at least 600 years and where most of the century-old traditions have been kept alive until today. It is the only remaining semi-nomadic traditional mountain village in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Enjoy a locally prepared lunch, meet some of the local people, learn about their customs, and enjoy the best Bosnian coffee. Later, visit the village mosque, see more Stećci tombstones, climb the Vijenac peak, and admire the stunning 800 m-deep Rakitnica canyon.

After exploring Lukomir village, begin your return hike, a pleasant 2.5-hour flat hike to Umoljani village through the Canyon of Rakitnica River. The trail takes you along the upper edge of the canyon, offering breathtaking views of this remote and unexplored natural wonder.
