Lukomir (Serbian Cyrillic: Лукомир) is a village in the Konjic municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It consists of two settlements: Donji (Lower) and Gornji (Upper) Lukomir.
Gornji Lukomir
Gornji Lukomir is known for its touristic potential and heritage. It is the highest and most remote village in the entire country.[1]
Characteristics
Lukomir sits at an altitude of 1,495 m (4,905 ft) on the Bjelašnica mountain. Stećci originating from the 14th and 15th century exist at the village and suggest that it was inhabited for hundreds of years.[2] The walls of the homes in the area are made of stone and their roofs of wooden tiles. The Rakitnica canyon is located nearby and is said by local folklore to be the origin of a dragon.[3]
