Medjugorje · YOUR QUESTION, ANSWERED
How difficult is Apparition Hill?
Apparition Hill (Podbrdo) is a short but rough climb: about 200 m above the village on a rocky path, taking 20 to 40 minutes up for a fit walker. It involves irregular rocks, uneven footing, and exposed sections. Conditions vary with weather and crowds. It should not be treated as an ordinary paved walk simply because many pilgrims attempt it.
