Hiking tour (Umoljani – Obalj - Lukomir)

Selo Lukomir - After breakfast, departure to the Olympic mountain Bjelašnica via organized transport (including a short break) and trip to the village of Umoljani (1275 m). Rent the equipment and start hiking tour across the mountain Obalj to the highest BiH village of Lukomir.

There is a legend of a dragon, which was turned into stone, in the village Umoljani. It is said that a great snake-dragon came out of the Rakitnica Canyon, 3 km away from the village, and passed through the Studeni creek swaying its way with the intention to destroy the entire village and eat its villagers. When the villagers noticed the danger, they left to the Pošijak Hill, praying to God to turn the dragon into stone. God heard their prayers and even today you can see the contours of this monster in the stone. Because of these prayers (molitve) this village was named Umoljani. Above the stoned dragon, there is a katun settlement on Gradina where, during the summer, shepherds rest while the cattle eat. This is where we finish with the Umoljani part of our tour and start ascending onto mountain Obalj (1896 m). Through the entire tour you will see beautiful landscapes of the mountains Bjelašnica and Visočica. Further, we will descend to the village Lukomir (1495 m) which is recognized as an official cultural landscape and national heritage site of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The stone houses in Lukomir, covered by roof shingles made out of cherry tree, clean air, the smell of nature, homemade food, dairy products, organic food, hospitality are just a few things you can find in Lukomir, which has the following rule: “Enjoy, Forget the fast-paced rhythm of today’s life, Run into the nature, Touch the sky and Feel free.”

Hiking tour (Visočica Mountain)

Boračko Lake Country House - After breakfast we depart via organized transportation on the path over Dugo Polje towards Visočica, where our mountain tour starts. Visočica Mountain is a natural border along Bosnia and Herzegovina. On its eastern side, Visočica is separated by the Ljuta River from Treskavica Mountain. On its south and southwest side, it is separated from Prenj Mountain by the Neretva River, and from west and north, the Rakitnica Canyon separates Visočica and Bjelašnica Mountains. Visočica got its name by the numerous peaks, including Džamija (1967 m), Veliki Ljeljen (1963 m) and Vito (1960 m), as its highest ones. The northern side of Visočica is made up of mountain grasslands ranging from 1,300m to 1,400m above ground, and its southern lower part is overgrown with forest trees.

We will rent equipment and start the tour on the mountain trail from the Bosnian tomb-stone necropolis to the highest peak of Džamija (1967 m). During the tour, one can see many sheep herds. In contrast to other mountains, the cattle breeding on Visočica has been preserved in its original custom. In local settlements of that area, one can taste the most delicious dairy products and feel the highlander life of the locals. We will reach the peak, where a lunch break is organized, while enjoying the views of Bjelašnica, Prenj, Treskavica, Lukomir village, and Rakitnica Canyon.

Arrival to Blagaj, the medieval town located on the Buna River, which was once part of Zachlumia country. After the mid-15th Century, it became today’s Herzegovina region.
