Lukomir Hiking Tour from Sarajevo

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.
