The Highlands' Path: A Sister's Heritage Trail Tour
Overview
Our adventure begins in the ancient village of Umoljani, known for its folklore, stećci tombstones, and historic stone architecture. From here, we ascend the panoramic ridges of Mount Obalj, rewarding you with dramatic views of the profound Rakitnica Canyon twisting thousands of meters below.
We then descend into Lukomir, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s highest and most isolated nomadic village. Walking here feels like stepping back centuries—traditional stone homes with steep cherry-wood roofs still cling to the cliffside. We'll connect with locals to learn about their customs and a lifestyle beautifully untouched by the modern world.
Finally, our trail winds through the serene meadows of Lovnica to Čuhovići, a hidden gem of authentic highland heritage. Perfect for trekkers seeking raw landscapes paired with soulful cultural storytelling.
This activity includes:
- Crkva u Blacama
- Lukomir
- Private transfer from Sarajevo
- Local guide (the sisters)
- Homemade mountain lunch in Lukomir
- Full day (8–9 hours)

Things to note
Physical Fitness: This is a demanding 9-hour hike covering steep and uneven mountain terrain. A good level of physical fitness and hiking experience is highly recommended.
Required Gear: Please wear sturdy, broken-in hiking boots with good grip.
Weather & Clothing: Mountain weather can change rapidly. We strongly advise dressing in layers and bringing a windproof/waterproof jacket, a hat, and sunscreen.
Hydration & Snacks: Ensure you bring at least 2 liters of water and some energy-boosting snacks (nuts, dried fruits, or energy bars) for the trail.
Cash: It is highly recommended to bring some local currency (BAM) in cash, as card payments are not accepted in remote highland villages like Lukomir and Čuhovići.
