Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Bjelašnica
Bjelašnica offers a nearby, rough and changing mountain in Sarajevo, with ski slopes, pastoral plateaus and trails to high-altitude villages. Outside winter, ridges and meadows give beautiful walks during the day, often swept by a wind that recalls the exposure of the massif.
Town or village
Lukomir
Lukomir line its stone and sheet metal houses on a high edge overlooking the Rakitnica Canyon. The village retains a strong pastoral presence, with herds, walls and low roofs; seasonal access and the bumpy road are part of the experience as well as the view.
Town or village
Umoljani
Umoljani serves as a starting point for the plateaux of Bjelašnica, mills, springs and itineraries leading to Lukomir. The village mixes scattered houses, mosques, meadows and soft relief before the terrain opens towards the deeper gorges of the Rakitnica.
