Historically, the area of Birac is already known, a proof of its early settlements are the remains of many settlements, forts, temples, monuments, necropolises, and tombstones of old medieval towns such as Veledin, Komic town – Jerina’s town, Perin town. The said sites, with canyons of rivers Drinjaca and Lukavica, waterfalls Skakavac, Vrelo and Sedrica, are connected and accessible throughout the year, thanks to the Vlasenica Mountaineering and ecological society “ACER” whose members marked about 150 km of hiking trails in the municipality of Vlasenica.
