The trail that passes through the site is unmarked, but clearly visible. Its crossing is not difficult, even families with children can manage it without any problems. At the top on the right there is a viewpoint on the rock and on the left along the forest path, traversing the massif of the Dvoriská hill and Katova skala, you will reach the ridge by the final steeper pass and in a moment you will be on the red marker, which will lead you to the very edge of Katova skala.
