Umoljani village, a climatic point of contact and conflict between two different influences (Mediterranean and Continental), is a place where people have met and clashed for centuries, leaving behind a rich historical heritage. The area is endowed with natural potentials, such as the watermills on Sedrenik, the seasonal pastoral settlement of Gradina, the meandering Studeno Polje with its stream, and the waterfalls of Studeni Potok, which plunge 350 meters into the upper canyon of the Rakitnica River with 21 cascades during spring and autumn, making it a prime attraction for day-trippers, hikers, tourists, and other visitors. The ruins of previous towns are dispersed across the area, and there are several medieval tombstones high on the cliffs. The majority of the tombstones are made of local stone and take the shape of slabs, crates, and gables. A significant number of tombstones are decorated with realistic and symbolic features (twisted ribbon, double ribbon of zigzag lines, lines made in the form of relief protrusions and indentations, vine with trefoil, vine with spirals, stylized cross, Latin cross, shield, sword, circle and figural a representation of a dance formation, i.e. a posthumous cult dance, then a representation of a stylized tree with two pairs of symmetrically winding spirals and a rosette decoration.

Umoljani, a village steeped in legend, is known as the place where a dragon turned to stone—an event tied to the Studeni Potok stream. This story, beautifully captured in the film by Ivan Ramadan, tells of the dragon fleeing from the Rakitnica Canyon, leaving behind a trail that formed today’s Studeni Potok. The village now draws tourists from around the world who come to hear from locals and guides about this mythical dragon. It is also believed that the Sarajevo Haggadah was hidden in the foundations of the Umoljani mosque during World War II. Remarkably, the Umoljani mosque is the only mosque in the Bjelašnica villages that survived the recent war, allegedly saved by a Serbian soldier, according to local folklore.
