Lukomir hiking tour details

Exploring Lukomir village

Present-day Lukomir gives plenty of evidence that the population descended from Podveležje in Herzegovina.  Podveležje, the dry plateau above Mostar, could not provide the herds with enough water to sustain these semi-nomadic tribes, over the summer months. Eventually, many of the villagers from the Podvelezje region made permanent settlements in the canyon and later in the place where it is now located.

Why should you take our Lukomir hiking tour?

Lukomir village 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.  The only way to rach it is 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.  From the edge of the village, located at almost 1,500 meters above the sea level, you will have a  breathtaking view of this canyon. Also you can see the neighboring Obalj and Visočica Mountain. On the other side, you can see Igman, a beautiful Olympic mountain.

Lukomir Village is known for its traditional attire

In Lukomir you can still see women wearing traditional hand-knitted costumes that had been worn for centuries. They still knit pretty, colourful things for their children and grandchildren. In general, you will see how does everyday life in Lukomir Village look – a normal life, but without electricity, water or internet we are now used to.

Of course, you will be able to try delicious traditional Bosnian food. So, our Lukomir hiking tour will give you an amazing experience.

Photos don’t do this lovely hike justice. The scenery is beautiful , went with a group a total of 8 of us along with our guide Yasmin who was excellent. The terrain was different beginning with tarmac, grassy trails, mud, loose rocks and going over small boulders and rocks reminding me of the terrain in Yemen. Hiking through forest and in open areas.

The canyon is beautiful to walk past and the lukomir village view point in breath taking. The home made burek was beautiful also cooked in an old fashioned oven. Everything was great and exceeded expectations.

I would say I am quite fit and the last two miles back I did find it very difficult having two knee surgeries. The heat did not help so bring lots of water I froze mine over night so it was cold for the day. Bring lots of fruit for snacks also

5***** trip with meet Bosnia I have been on about 8 tours/excursions with this tour company and never been disappointed, every time the tour guides have been excellent and have massive knowledge for each tour.

This was one of the best hiking routes I’ve ever done—absolutely stunning scenery and unforgettable. The place truly feels worth every moment spent there.

Our guide, Jasmin, was fantastic—not only incredibly knowledgeable but also one of the kindest and most patient people I’ve ever met. He went above and beyond to help one of our group members, showing great generosity and care throughout the tour.

I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bosnia. Thank you, Jasmin, for making it so special!

Can highly recommend this tour. Ahmed was a laid back guide who ensured that we all were well. My wife had to take breathing breaks in between and the other tour participants and Ahmed were very welcoming.
So, of course the tour fits different fitness tipes.
A word of caution though: it is a pretty challenging hike to Lukomir. It is not mountaineering, but I would not recommend it to someone who has never hiked before. In a few parts one has to use the hands for stabilization in order to climb or descend the rocky path.
Lukomir is beautiful, the waiter at the Restaurant was genuinely nice and I never felt like a tourist there, even though I was.
All in all, a big recommendation for Meet Bosnia Tours. We also did the Free walking tour, which also was amazing.

This tour to Lukomir was an unforgettable experience and a real highlight of my time in Bosnia. The hike itself was absolutely stunning—amazing mountain views, fresh air, and peaceful surroundings that made it easy to disconnect and just enjoy nature.

What really made the trip special, though, was our guide, Ahmed. He was friendly, professional, and full of insight—not just about the nature and trails, but also about Bosnian culture, history, and everyday life. He made the whole group feel welcome and kept the energy positive throughout the day, while also being super attentive to everyone’s pace and comfort.

Reaching Lukomir was like stepping into another world. The village is quiet, authentic, and full of character. Having the chance to talk with some of the locals and enjoy a traditional meal there added so much depth to the experience. It didn’t feel touristy at all—just genuine and meaningful.

If you’re looking to get out of the city and experience a different side of Bosnia, I highly recommend this tour. And if you get Ahmed as your guide, consider yourself lucky—he truly made the day one to remember.
