Medjugorje was blessed by the apparition of St. Mary that happened on the 24th of May 1981. From that very moment until today pilgrims and believers from all over the world visit Medjugorje in peace and in the faith of Jesus Christ, and Mother Mary, named in Medjugorje as Queen of Peace. Before we arrive in that holy place, we will visit the famous waterfalls of Kravice, one of the most popular natural attractions in Herzegovina, and on our way back we will stop in the beautiful Ottoman settlement Pocitelj. The whole experience of West Herzegovina Canton, with its villages, landscapes, natural beauties, and spirit is very unique. Medjugorje welcomes people with an open heart, everyone who believes in love and peace as a basic foundation of human mankind. If you want to be one of them, come on our tour. Welcome!
WHEN AND WHERE WILL WE START?
The tour starts at 7:30 am from Budva. The next pick-up is in the city of Kotor. From Kotor to Budva is only a 25 km distance. In the off-season, we need 25 minutes of the ride between the cities, but in the very high season, we need 45 minutes which is written in our itinerary. If guests take the private tour we will pick up them from their accommodations.
The departure point in Kotor is from the ECO PETROL gas station next to the main bus station. The departure point in Budva is from the ECO PETROL gas station next to the hotel Slovenska Plaža
NOTE: MH Travel Agency is the only one that organizes the Herzegovina with visiting of 3 cities departures from Kotor, and Budva, so guests should be aware that a tour can last up to 14-15 hours. Because of that, it is not recommended for small kids.
WHERE WE WILL GO?
We will go to the Kravice Waterfalls, the City of Medjugorje, the Apparition Hill, and Pocitelj
WATERFALLS KRAVICE
After we leave Kotor we will go directly to the border crossing, passing by Mountain Orjen and enjoying the amazing view of Boka Bay. We need one hour of driving to reach the border, and 2 more hours of driving via the cities of Bileća and Stolac to arrive at Waterfalls Kravice, a Park of Nature on the river Trebižat in the municipality of Ljubuski. It was created by the flow of the tuff surrounding the river. It is a natural phenomenon under the country's protection. The height of the waterfall varies from 26 to 28 meters. The water amphitheater under the waterfall has a diameter of 120 m.
Many plants such as grass, moss, and ringworm grow from the top to the bottom of the waterfall. Figs and poplars have sprung up along with the waterfall's hemp. Next to the waterfalls are many mills and "stupas" for rolling cloth were once active. Stupa or Valjarica are primitive wooden machines driven by the power of water (like water mills), in which very coarse cloth was produced by rolling and compacting (beating) wool, with a constant flow of alkaline water (wet process).
From the main entrance to reach the waterfalls, we need 15 minutes to go down the small hill. There is an electric train that operates in the summer season for guests who don't want to walk, especially to go up to the exit. Waterfalls are amazing in the spring and in the autumn when the water capacity of the river is maximized. In the summer, waterfalls have 30% of their full capacity but then they become a paradise for water activities. Many tourists swim and jump into the waterfalls, or take a kayak to be close to the falls.
Several small beaches and a few restaurants have all the necessary facilities for visitors. We will make a short visit to the waterfalls and continue to Medjugorje.
MEDJUGORJE (MEĐUGORJE)
We will continue our trip 15 km further to Medjugorje. Our first stop will be St. James' Parish Church in the center of the city, where the guests can see the statue of St. Mary- Queen of Peace, make prayers, and confessions, visit the church, the complex around the church, and exterior altar with 5000 seats, buy some souvenirs and have lunch.
The presentation on the statue of St. Mary of Peace in St. James' Paris Church is exactly in the body size and descriptions of the apparition witnesses. Our Lady of the Peace appears to be 18 to 20 years old, slender, and around 165 centimeters (5 ft 5 in) tall. Her face is long and oval. She has black hair.
Her eyes are blue with delicate eyelashes and thin black eyebrows, a little nose, and rosy cheeks. She has reddish thin lips and her smile is more like some indescribable gentleness. Her simple dress is bluish-grey and falls freely down to the little whitish cloud on which she is standing. Her veil is pure white and covers her head and shoulders. It also reaches down to the little cloud. She has a crown of twelve golden stars on her head. All presentations of St. Mary on souvenirs, statues, and paintings follow this description in Medjugorje.
APPARITION HILL
The next step will be Apparition Hill which is located 3 km far away from the St. James' Parish Church. Hiking up the rocky path to the summit of the apparition lasts 40 minutes with average body condition. Silence is requested. Be aware that summer can be very hot, so take some water with you, and adequate shoes.
When the first apparition happened, Medjugorje was a village in Yugoslavia, a republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The apparition of the Virgin Mary was seen by six children of witnesses. Later on, the witnesses were tested by the best world psychologists and doctors. All of them have concluded that all six visionaries are completely healthy and are not lying.
All of the visionaries have gotten numerous messages from the Blessed Virgin Mary and all of them were presented to the people. The citizens of Medjugorje believe that St. Mary has chosen their place for some reason to send the people words of peace, love and faith from her Son Jesus Christ. The first witness Mirjana Dragićević Soldo says that every person who wants to visit Medjugorje is invited by St. Mary-Queen of Peace directly. She wants us to open our hearts, and to guide us in the name of love.
POČITELJ
Počitelj is 20 km from Medjugorje and is a real historical pearl, consisting of a fortress, a tower, and about a hundred houses built in the Ottoman style from the 15th and 16th centuries. After a half-hour tour of Počitelje, we head back to Kotor and Budva. We will carefully monitor the situation at the border and if there is a wait at the border for more than an hour, we will start the tour an hour earlier.
