Lovers' Rock

Lovers' Rock is a granite formation standing on a hillside path with a natural curved shape rising several meters high. The stone marks the landscape and serves as a recognizable landmark along the forested slopes.

Local residents have visited this rock formation since the early 1900s, attributing it with special powers related to love and marriage. Over decades, the site developed into an established pilgrimage destination for relationship blessings.

The site serves as a meeting point where visitors light incense and tie red ribbons on nearby trees as part of local traditions for relationship blessings. These practices bring couples and single people to the stone throughout the year.

The stone can be reached by following a walking path of about 30 minutes from Hopewell Centre through the forested slopes. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the route follows a hillside trail.

Thousands of visitors come to the site each year to leave small offerings and express personal wishes at the stone. This practice has grown into a strong local tradition that continuously reshapes the place through these acts.
