The thing that most pilgrims want to see is the Hill of Apparition (Brdo Ukazanja). That is a place of first apparitions, a few hundred metres above Bijakovići village called Podbrdo. Sheer path leads to this place and bronze relieves of sacraments were put beside it. On the road to the place of Apparition there is a wooden cross where Our Lady called for the first time on conversion and peace, through a little girl. In the honour of twentieth anniversary, the statue of Queen of Peace was put at the exact point of Apparition. The statue is made by model which stands in front of the church.

Encounter with the Hill of Apparition for pilgrims means the encounter with Our Lady through personal pray and rosary.
