Praktisk info

Den närmaste byn till Apparition Hill är Medjugorje, som ligger cirka 25 kilometer sydväst om Mostar. Du kan anlända till Medjugorje från Mostar via buss 48, som går hela dagen och tar cirka 45 minuter. Det går också en daglig buss från Split och Dubrovnik i Kroatien. För dem som vill övernatta i Medjugorje upplevde staden en utvecklingsboom efter Bosnien kriget och har nu mer än 1000 hotell- och vandrarhemssängar tillgängliga för besökare.

Webbplatsen innehåller en brant och stenig gångväg upp till toppen av Apparition Hill och är inte tillgänglig för rullstolar. Vandringen kan vara utmanande för nybörjare, och det rekommenderas inte att klättra om det finns en anständig risk för regn, eftersom vandringen blir mycket hal. Om du besöker webbplatsen i juni och augusti, överväga att ta en tidig morgontur för att undvika de höga temperaturerna.

The basics

Apparition Hill is situated in the town of Međugorje, and devout visitors usually hike up to the top of the hill, praying the rosary as they make their way up. It’s customary for pilgrims to also pay a visit to St. James Church to attend Mass. Apparition Hill is frequently visited on day tours from Split in neighboring Croatia, along with destinations such as the medieval city of Mostar and Kravica Waterfalls.

Things to know before you go

  • Apparition Hill provides an interesting lens into culture and spirituality, and is worth visiting whether you’re religious or not.

  • Out of respect for local cultures, remember to cover your shoulders and upper legs before entering a church.

  • If you’re visiting Apparition Hill on a day trip from Croatia, don’t forget to bring your passport—you’ll need it to cross the border until Bosnia and Herzegovina joins the EU.

  • Make sure to bring sun protection, especially in the summer months, when the sun in this part of Europe can be brutal.

  • Climbing up the hill can be difficult, particularly for travelers with limited mobility.

Počitelj

Perched atop a karst cliff overlooking the Neretva River, a 20-minute drive from Međugorje, the historic town of Počitelj is a great place to see some of the region’s major architectural styles from the last five centuries. While the fortified old town itself dates back to the Middle Ages, you'll also find plenty of Venetian and even Ottoman structures, including a mosque and a hammam (bathhouse).
