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.

- ✓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.
