It is situated on mountain Bjelasnica, 50 kilometers (31 mile) from Sarajevo. Lukomir is a symbol of historical, cultural, architectural and ambient heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Traditional medieval Bosnian highlenders lifesyle are still practiced here. In the beginning there was just village Donji Lukomir, 10 kilometers from the Lukomir that coexists today. Around year 1950 people of this village have displaced their homes because of avalanches. Lukomir has unique stone homes with cherry-wood roof tiles.The house has the square base, with a fire place in the center. Walls are made of stone, and have small windows. In the village there are 50 houses and only about 20 are inhabited. The village has its own graveyard and smaller group of ancient stecci - medieval tombstones (from Medieval Bosnia). Access to the village is impossible from the first snows in December until late April, sometimes even later. Sa 1469 metara nadmorske visine, selo Lukomir je najviše i najizolovanije selo u Bosni i Hercegovini. Način života je ostao nepromjenjen jako dugo. Nalazi se na planini Bjelašnici, 50 kilometara od Sarajeva. Lukomir je simbol, historijske kulturne, arhitektonske i ambijentalne ostavštine Bosne i Hercegovine. Skoro da bi se moglo reči da se tradicionalni gorštački način života kakav je bio znan u srednjem vijeku još uvijek ovdje praktikuje. Mještani sela su inače živjeli dublje u kanjonu u selu Donji Lukomir, 10 km od današnjeg Lukomira. Oko 1950 godine selo je preselilo na sadašnju lokaciju zbog velikih opasnosti od lavina. Lukomir ima jedinstvene kuće od kamena sa krovovima pokrivenim šindrom. Kuće imaju kvadratnu ili pravougaonu bazu sa ložištem u sredini. Zidovi su od kamena i imaju male prozore. Selo ima oko 50 kuća a samo 20 su naseljene. U zimskom periodu u selu ostaje samo dvoje do troje seljana. Selo ima i svoje vlastito groblje i malu nekropolu sa srednjovjekovnim stećcima. Čim padne prvi snijeg u decembru pristup selu je nemoguć. Tako je sve do druge polovine aprila, a ponekad i puno kasnije.
