You can reach it directly from the village or from the area of the Teplica thermal spring (a small bridge over the Štiavnica stream). A simple, maintained trail leads to the lookout tower, starting from the nearest road near the cemetery, where parking is also possible but limited. The route is easy with minimal ascent. It is therefore suitable for children and seniors.
Author’s recommendation
If you bring swimwear with you, you can bathe in the thermal spring - in a tub, on the edge of the village.
