Rakitnica is the main tributary of the first section of the Neretva river known as Upper Neretva (Serbian: Gornja Neretva).
The Rakitnica river formed a 26 km long canyon that stretches between
Bjelašnica and Visočica mountains. At almost 1,500m, the village of
Lukomir,
with its unique stone homes with cherry-wood roof tiles, is the highest
and most isolated mountain village in the country. The village is the only remaining traditional semi-nomadic mountain village in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
