If there is one thing you should do in Suwon, it’s taking a hike on the mighty city wall.
That wall surrounding the inner, old city is called Hwaseong Fortress. The nearly 6km long way on the top of the wall offers a stunning view on the city and the history of it. Let’s go for a walk…
It’s a catholic pilgrimage site, not known by certain when or by whom it started.
What is believed is in the 19th century people started bringing crosses to the site of a former hill fort. Probably in memory of perished rebels, who fight against the Russian Empire.
This hill, now know as Hill of Crosses has estimated more than 100’000 crosses, rosaries and statues, brought from all over the world.
