User provided description:

The route starts in Trnovo municipality on the southern slopes of the Bjelašnica massif and climbs north through open terrain toward Obalj (1,896m), a prominent ridge point above the Mrkovaljie Polje plateau. The trail continues toward Lukomir, Bosnia's highest permanently inhabited village at around 1,500m, known for its stone houses and traditional way of life.

From Lukomir, the route follows the rim of the Rakitnica Canyon, one of the deepest and least-accessible gorges in the Western Balkans, with sheer drops into the river valley below. The descent passes through Vijenac and Vijen before looping back to the start via Umoljani, another traditional village at the canyon's edge.
