Umoljani: Mountain Landscape, Stećci and Trails along the Studeni Potok

The Old Mosque in Umoljani dates from 1716. The Umoljani Mosque has a stone minaret built in the 1930s; a large number of Stećci are incorporated into its foundations. At the Dolovi site in the settlement of Umoljani are necropolises with Stećci, old Nišan tombstones and the remains of a medieval building. This ensemble is a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Living folklore is also part of the village's cultural identity: Ganga remains part of the folklore of Umoljani and Lukomir to this day. According to the legend of Umoljani, the Aždaja was turned to stone, and its tail created the Studeni Potok. The attractions listed in the visitor programme for Umoljani also include the watermills at the Sedrenik spring.

The “Umoljanske čarape” programme protects and promotes traditionally hand-knitted socks from the mountain village of Umoljani in Bjelašnica. During the summer months, visitors can meet local knitters in Gradina who knit Priglavke, Pape, Dugalje and other woollen products.

Access to the Studeni Potok begins near several Katuns. From there, the view opens out over the field through which the stream flows. A walk across the field along the Studeni Potok to its end takes about 20 minutes. For the longer connection, a narrow marked mountain trail leads from the Studeni Potok to Lukomir in approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.

The “Umoljanske čarape” tour in Umoljani on Bjelašnica lasts four hours. The tour leads from Umoljani to Gradina, where visitors meet knitters, and then continues on foot to the Studeni Potok. At a farm, the tour includes tasting local products and gastronomic specialities.

Near Gradina, guests can enjoy a rural organic lunch at PG Bešlagić by prior arrangement. This programme therefore brings handicrafts, the route and regional cuisine together in one sequence: from Umoljani to Gradina, continuing on foot to the Studeni Potok and then to a farm for a tasting of local products and gastronomic specialities.
