The Women Shepherds of Lukomir - Life on Bosnia’s Timeless Mountain

The Women Shepherds of Lukomir | Life in Bosnia’s Highest Village

Join me on a journey to Lukomir, Bosnia’s highest village, where the breathtaking mountain scenery meets a way of life that feels untouched by time. In this episode, we discover the remarkable story of the women shepherds of Lukomir — the shepherdesses who lead the flocks, make cheese, spin wool, and keep traditions alive high up on Bjelašnica Mountain. Unlike most places in the world where shepherding is done by men, here it’s the women who embody resilience, patience, and survival in a remote mountain community.

We’ll walk together through this remote Bosnian mountain village, hear the bells of hundreds of sheep heading out to pasture, share a meal with locals, and reflect on what makes Lukomir so special. From its stone houses to its warm hospitality, Lukomir is more than a tourist stop — it’s a living example of how tradition and community endure.
