At the end of the drive, a short walk (approximately 10–15 minutes) through the forest leads to the geographic centre marker. The track is easy and well-marked, making it accessible for most visitors.
The road is open year-round, but the road may become slippery after heavy rain, so check conditions if traveling during winter.
