Private Lukomir and Umoljani Nomad Villages from Sarajevo
A private day trip to the shepherd villages of Bjelašnica mountain, running from April to October. We leave at 10:00 from your hotel or from Sarajevo City Hall and drive up past the ski slopes of the 1984 Winter Olympics. Lukomir, at almost 1,500 metres, is the highest village in Bosnia that people still live in. Its stone houses with steep wooden roofs sit on the edge of the Rakitnica Canyon, and a few families still bring their sheep up for the summer. You walk through the village with your tour leader and can buy hand-knitted socks and woollens. Then visit Umoljani, with its small old mosque and medieval tombstones (stećci), and walk to Studeni Potok, a cold stream in the meadow below the village. Your driver is also your tour leader and knows the area well. The car and driver are for your group only. Lunch in Umoljani can be added with the Tour & Meal option.
