This is not your typical day trip; it is an intimate journey through our family history and the most dramatic peaks of the Bjelašnica highlands. We invite you on a unique circuit that connects the three 'living hearts' of the mountain. Our trek begins in Umoljani, climbing over the breathtaking Obalj peak for a bird's-eye view of the Rakitnica Canyon, before descending into Lukomir, our native village. Here, we'll pause for a traditional mountain lunch made like our grandma and mother used to make it.

Our journey continues over Lovnica slopes to Čuhovići, the village where our grandmother was born, offering a rare glimpse into a place few travelers ever see. We'll also visit the mystical lake of Blaca, completing a loop that combines rugged adventure with the deepest local roots. Walk the trails our ancestors walked and experience the highlands as only family can show you. The hike starts in Bosnia and finishes in Herzegovina, a walk to remember for sure.
