Cross Mountain Pilgrimage Trail

The Cross Mountain of Medjugorje

Rising sharply behind the village, Mt. Krizevac is one of the most revered destinations in Medjugorje. A towering concrete cross, raised on the summit in the 1930s, anchors a steep devotional ascent that draws pilgrims from across the world.

A Stone Path Through the Hillside

The camera frames the rocky trail as it threads between weathered limestone and terraced olive groves. The karst landscape of Herzegovina, with its pale stone and hardy Mediterranean vegetation, defines every step of the climb.

A Living Pilgrimage

Throughout the day a steady flow of visitors walks the Stations of the Cross set along the route. The mountain has become a lasting symbol of contemplation and faith for the millions who travel to this corner of Herzegovina.

Heart of a Spiritual Destination

Together with nearby Apparition Hill and St. James Church, Mt. Krizevac forms the spiritual core of one of Europe's most visited devotional sites, offering a sweeping vantage over the surrounding valley.
