Lukomir
Bosnia's highest and most remote inhabited traditional village, with stone houses and wooden shingle roofs perched above the Rakitnica Canyon, where time seems to stand still.
Lukomir sits at about 1,470 meters on the southern slope of Bjelašnica and is the highest village in Bosnia and Herzegovina that is still inhabited. Villagers make their living from herding, and they preserve distinctive stone houses with steeply pitched wooden-shingle roofs and traditional dress. A medieval stećak tombstone stands at the village entrance. Just beyond the village lies the deep Rakitnica Canyon. In summer you can drive the rough off-road route yourself or join a day trip from Sarajevo by hiking or jeep. The village has a simple café that sells wool socks and cheese. Roads are often closed in winter.
