"We had an amazing time today with our tour guide Emir, he picked us up and brought us to a shooting range where he showed us how to safely handle the weapons. It was very cool. Afterwards he brought us to a museum where he explained about the weapons and the stories behind them. Then we drank some coffee and had some nice conversations. Overall great experience, he takes good care of you so we can definitely recommend booking with him!"

Lukomir sits at about 1,470 metres on the edge of the Rakitnica Canyon and is Bosnia's highest permanently inhabited village: a cluster of stone houses with steep roofs where shepherds still bring their flocks up for the summer. The trail starts in Umoljani and crosses open highland pasture to the village, with the canyon dropping away beside you for much of the way. You have time to walk through Lukomir and eat in the village before heading back.
