Two Key Places to Visit in Medjugorje

Among the many spiritual sites in Medjugorje, two locations stand out as essential:

• The Blue Cross
• Mount Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) with the Statue of Our Lady

These two places are close in distance but offer very different experiences.

 

The Blue Cross in Medjugorje

The Blue Cross Medjugorje is located at the base of Apparition Hill. It became an important place of prayer during the early days of the apparitions in 1981 and remains one of the most peaceful sites in Medjugorje.

 

How to get to The Blue Cross

The Blue Cross is easy to reach and requires only a short, flat walk. It is suitable for visitors of all ages and physical abilities.

This site is ideal for:

• Elderly visitors
• Families with children
• Travellers who prefer minimal walking

 

Atmosphere at The Blue Cross

The atmosphere at The Blue Cross is calm and deeply spiritual. Many visitors pray silently, say the rosary, or simply sit in quiet reflection.

It is often described as a place of comfort, stillness, and gentle prayer.

 

Mount Podbrdo – Apparition Hill

Mount Podbrdo, also known as Apparition Hill, is where the first apparitions were reported in June 1981. Near the top of the hill stands the white Statue of Our Lady, Queen of Peace, marking one of Medjugorje’s most significant locations.

 

 

 

Climbing Apparition Hill

The climb to the top of Apparition Hill is physically demanding. The path is rocky, uneven, and steep in places, but the spiritual atmosphere gives visitors the strength to climb this mountain.

Important information for visitors:

• Good walking shoes are essential
• The climb takes approximately 30–45 minutes
• Rest stops are possible along the way

This walk may not be suitable for visitors with mobility issues.

 

Rosary Stations on the Path

Along the trail, visitors encounter bronze reliefs representing the mysteries of the rosary. These prayer stations transform the climb into a spiritual pilgrimage rather than a simple hike.

 

Atmosphere at the Top of Apparition Hill

The atmosphere at the top of Mount Podbrdo, Apparition Hill, is powerful and emotional. Visitors often pray quietly, reflect, or simply take in the view over Medjugorje.

For many pilgrims, reaching the summit represents both a physical and spiritual achievement.

 

Other Things to Do in Medjugorje

A visit to Medjugorje offers more than these two sites. Many travellers also choose to:

• Attend Holy Mass at St. James Church
• Take part in Eucharistic Adoration
• Visit to the park of the Risen Christ located behind the St. James Church
• Spend time in personal prayer or reflection

Medjugorje encourages visitors to slow down and be present.
