Description
Embark on an unforgettable guided hiking tour from Sarajevo to Lukomir, Bosnia’s most remote mountain village. Your journey begins in the tranquil settlement of Umoljani, where ancient legends and the iconic stone mosque await. The scenic trail leads you through the lush Studeni Potok lowlands, past aromatic wild herbs, and along the dramatic Rakitnica Canyon, the second deepest gorge in Europe.
As you trek through meadows and dense forests, you’ll share the landscape with grazing sheep, wandering cows, and perhaps even a herd of wild horses. The breathtaking panorama of the Visočica mountains is your constant companion, with the possibility of spotting hidden waterfalls along the route. After about two and a half hours, you’ll arrive in Lukomir.
Lukomir feels like a step back in time. Though Wi-Fi is now available, life here moves at a slower pace, perfect for a digital detox. In summer, just 17 families inhabit traditional stone houses, preserving age-old customs. You’ll witness grandmothers knitting priglavke, shepherds tending their flocks, and housewives preparing delicious local pita.
A highlight of the tour is a lunch with a welcoming Bosnian family. Enjoy freshly cooked seasonal dishes, best savored after your mountain hike. After lunch, you’ll have time to explore Lukomir’s historic mosque, panoramic viewpoints over the canyon, and centuries-old tombstones from the Bosnian Kingdom and Church—a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The hike covers approximately 16 kilometers and takes 4 to 5 hours to complete. After exploring Lukomir, your return route leads you back to Umoljani and then to Sarajevo. This immersive adventure combines nature, culture, and authentic hospitality. Spots are limited—secure your place and book your Lukomir hiking tour today!
