Selo Lukomir
Lukomir village is the highest and most isolated village in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Lukomir is a symbol of historical, cultural, architectural and ambient heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

D-0 ARK
Officially designated "Armijska Ratna Komanda D-0" or simply "the ARK", this bunker built between 1953 and 1979 served as a Cold War atomic shelter to safeguard the military command and 350 members of president Tito's government in the event of a nuclear attack. The complex, excavated in the southern flank of the Bjelašnica mountain, consists of extensive underground facilities designed to sustain inhabitants for up to half a year. It includes residential areas, meeting rooms, dormitories, communication facilities and energy supplies. Built in complete secrecy, the bunker remained one of Yugoslavia's best kept military secrets until its collapse in the 1990s, when it was revealed that 3 ordinary looking houses at the shore of the Neretva river concealed the entrance to the country's largest military command centre. The bunker is still under command of the Bosnian military, and a platoon is permanently detached to guard it. It can be visited only on a guided tour. It is well worth as one of the best preserved remains of Cold War era Yugoslavia. Not open on Mondays.
