Residents of Lukomir are returning to their homes after winter spent in Tarcin, Hadzici and Sarajevo.
“Dozens of mountaineers visited Lukomir last weekend, and they came last weekend as well,” said Mujo Maslesa whose hospitality object “Ljetna basta (Summer Garden)” is reopened for lovers of nature, tourists and mountaineers after the winter break.
Thanks to the clear ways, nature lovers will be able to spend the upcoming weekend and the Labor Day in Lukomir.
Until the 1st of May, all residents will return to the village because the snow is gone and it is time for agricultural works.
The only house that this spring will not be unlocked is the house of Nura Comor, who died in mid-March as 88 year old, and who was the oldest resident of Lukomir.
This past winter was the fifth in the row, during which 22 houses in Lukomir were locked since November and residents came down in places around Sarajevo because of the snow, where they spent the previous months with their herds of sheep.
