It is a place where countless souls have experienced healing, peace, and a renewed love for Christ.

Stop 2

One of the most significant places in Medjugorje is Apparition Hill (Podbrdo), where Our Lady first appeared to the six visionaries in 1981. Pilgrims from around the world climb this rocky path in prayer, often praying the Rosary as they ascend. Along the way, bronze reliefs mark the Joyful Mysteries, inviting reflection on the life of Jesus through the eyes of His Mother.

At the top of the hill stands a statue of Our Lady, placed near the exact spot of the first apparitions. It is a deeply moving place, where many experience a profound sense of peace, consolation, and spiritual awakening. The silence, the views, and the prayerful atmosphere make Apparition Hill a sacred encounter with the presence of Heaven.
