Access to the summit cliff is from the green bicycle trail and the tourist intersection named , from where there is a ridge main path (marked with two horizontal white stripes), which should be followed for a distance of about 970 m, marked in a clearing (almost in a straight line) from the pass towards the Lyra summit.


Secondary summits

Žárový vrch is a mountain with a quadruple summit. In the entire massif of the mountain, in addition to the main peak, three lower secondary peaks can be distinguished.


Triangulation stations

There are two trigonometrical stations on the summit slope. The main trigonometrical station, which is often shown on maps as the main summit of the mountain, has a broken steel post located next to it. A second trigonometrical station is located a little further along the ridge's main path. The other two secondary trigonometrical stations are located on the eastern slope close to the road named ''To Brantloch.''
