Gornji Lukomir is known for its touristic potential and heritage. It is the highest and most remote village in the entire country.[1]
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]
Considered significant in terms of quality of natural and cultural-historical landscape, Lukomir (Gornji Lukomir) village and its immediate surrounding is designated as National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4]
