Overview

Embark on a personal journey through the rugged Bjelašnica highlands, tracing a path shaped by our family’s history. This immersive 9-hour trek explores the traditions, resilience, and daily rhythms of highland life, guided by the stories of the sisters who called these mountains home.

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.

On arrival

We will gather at our main office, CoolTour Agency Sarajevo, located at Veliki Alifakovac (just a short walk from the iconic City Hall / Vijećnica).

Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time so we can check everyone in, complete a quick briefing, and head out on time. If you have any trouble finding us, our office features a prominent agency sign visible from the street.

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.

Cancellation policy

Free Cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity starts. Late cancellation or your non-arrival is not refundable.
