Places to start with
Five ways into the same country
Start from a place, a bed, an activity or a product. Each one leads to a real village and a real host.

A place up close
Lukomir, where the road ends
Stone houses with shingle roofs and a tradition of woollen handwork. Lukomir is a place to learn how life on the mountain works.
What to see
Before you go
Local goods and makers
Take something home
Cheese, flour, preserves, pasta and woollen socks. You buy directly from the person who makes them: call, agree, then collect or order.
Plan your visit
How this works
You arrange it directly
For stays and visits we hand you to the host’s own contact or booking page.
Hosts confirm the details
We call the host, confirm the details and enter their corrections. Those pages carry the Verified mark.
No commission
Rural.ba does not book or charge. You arrange and pay the host directly.
Check the road locally
Snow, trails and phone signal change quickly. Look for current local information before you set off.
The countryside, with no middleman
Rural.ba is a free guide to the villages, hosts and local goods of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
What we do
We bring together villages worth visiting and the people who host, cook and make things in them. Every place has its own page, and so does every host.
How we work
- DirectThe guest calls the host. We do not book, charge or take commission.
- FreeFor visitors and for hosts.
- AccurateWe confirm details with hosts by phone, and anyone can report a correction.
