tour description

On Bjelašnica Mountain you will dive deep into the world of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s legends: you will learn the stories about the stone mosque of Umoljani and the Haggadah and the petrified dragon.

You will hike for about two and a half hours across the enchanted Studeni Potok plain and along the second deepest canyon in Europe, the Rakitnica canyon, to Lukomir, the most remote mountain village in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In Lukomir you will meet the inhabitants who still live today as they did hundreds of years ago – from farming, sheep breeding and manual labour. You will enjoy a typical Bosnian lunch – homemade from fresh, local ingredients.

Then it’s the 2.5 hour hike back to Umoljani, from where you drive back to Sarajevo.

What our guests say

Really beautiful, interesting and different tour of Sarajevo! You see parts of the town that you won’t come to with other walking tours in the city and I was amazed to realise how close the city is to the mountains and tranquil nature! The guide was very open, answered all our questions and adapted the information to what we were interested in. A must!

Urban hike is perfect for those who want to get out and spend time in nature yet don’t feel ready to cover very long distances.
At this tour, I was able to see the famous mahalas, the remarkable part of Sarajevo that makes it look so pretty from the valley when looking up at the hills surrounding the city. During the hike I saw different notable buildings (which are often omitted in the tour guide books?!), learned more about the traditional Bosnian architecture and culture, got to be smitten by of the best panoramic views of Sarajevo.
Not to mention that it was a great workout after which you are rewarded by a hearty lunch in a beautiful restaurant specialised in Bosnian cuisine.

Something else I would like to highlight as I did several tours with .Cheyf. You don’t feel like a tourist with them, bit rather like a local who spends time with good friends — that’s how extravert and accommodating Kathi and Numa are. Check them out — rest assured you will want to come back over and over again.

This tour really opened up my eyes to Sarajevo’s landscapes and culture. The guides are engaging and really made this a worthwhile trip. I think it’s the best guided experience I’ve had. Also, very good value for money.
You haven’t been to Sarajevo if you didn’t do this tour! One of the best tours of my life! I loved every part of it! The history of different neighbourhoods and the “mahalas”, the constant change of architecture, the scenery, the views. At one point you are in the Austro-Hungarian quarter, passing by the old Jewish quarter, socialist buildings, some mosques, neighbourhoods from the Ottoman time, and illegal settlements, then you are in some kind of village and you end up on a hill in the woods with a breathtaking view!
We visited the place where some important battles happened during the recent war. There are still trenches that the soldiers dug 30 years ago. Then the best part was the reward after the hike! Amazing food and drinks and we had such a good time! Seriously, one of the best hikes and foods ever!
