The village belongs to the Municipality of #Konjic , and it can be reached from two directions - from Konjic and #Sarajevo . It is about 30 kilometers away from Konjic, while Lukomir is 45 kilometers away from Sarajevo. The drive from the center of Sarajevo to Lukomir, the road that leads through Babin dol on Bjelasnica, takes about an hour and a half.
Most of the road is paved, and the last 11 kilometers is a winding macadam road that leads first through the bare karst landscapes, and then through landscapes with flower meadows.
It is possible to reach the village on foot via two hiking trails, which start from the village of #Umoljani on #Bjelasnica .
#Lukomir is like a living #ethno #museum, where the customs of #nomadic #tribes are practiced and lives the traditional way of life of the #Dinaric Highlanders. It is an important part of the historical, cultural, architectural and environmental heritage of #BiH, and stećak tombstones scattered around the village show that it was inhabited in the 14th and 15th centuries.
The population of Lukomir originates from Podveležje, a dry plateau in Herzegovina. In the summer, semi-nomadic shepherd tribes moved to the rich pastures of Bjelašnica due to lack of water with large herds. Most of them settled permanently in the Rakitnica canyon, and later on the site of today's Lukomir.
Building seasonal settlements, which later grew into a village, members of the Chomor and Masleš tribes mostly settled there, which are today the only families living in Lukomir.
At first, there was only the village of Donji Lukomir, about 3 kilometers away from today's village.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Gornji Lukomir was mentioned as a summer village, a place where the inhabitants of Donji Lukomir brought cattle to graze, and around 1950 the population moved to Gornji Lukomir for better connections with the rest of the world.
The village is unique for its stone houses covered with oak, fir and beech shimmer. The houses have a square base with a fireplace in the middle, and small windows are placed on the stone walls. During the construction of the homes, the residents adapted to the peculiarities of the terrain and the harsh mountain climate.
People have been living in Lukomir seasonally for several years. From May to October, the villagers are engaged in agriculture and livestock, and in winter they descend from the mountain, because then the village cannot be accessed due to several meters of snow.
Out of 50 houses in the village, 21 are inhabited in the summer, and in nice weather, up to 4,000 sheep graze on the pastures around Lukomir, which are kept at night in stone fences surrounded by pens.
The village has all the necessary infrastructure - telephone, electricity, water and sewage. It has its own cemetery, and back in 1969 the locals built a mosque, which was renovated in 2014.
From the lookout point above the village, the view extends to the crown of the Visocica mountain, which falls into the 800-meter-deep canyon of the Rakitnica river, the deepest in Europe after the Tara canyon.
Today, Lukomir is a top destination for rural tourism.
In several restaurants, visitors can enjoy hospitality and traditional culinary specialties, and as a memento of their stay in the last Bosnian village, they can also buy some of the handicrafts of valuable villagers.
