The mountain lies immediately southeast of the village of Kryštofovy Hamry.

The route to the summit sets out from the dam wall on the Preßnitz Reservoir, which is crossed on foot, and follows the metalled track uphill to about 500 m after the dam where another metalled track branches off to the right.

It follows this for about 400 m to the first bend in the track where it turns left onto a steep, straight path.

Where this climb ends after about 1600 m, the route leaves the track, again to the left, and onto a footpath.

After a final short climb this reaches the plateau of the Jelení hora.
