The road along the Oyat leads to the side of the mountain; it is considered difficult even for off-road vehicles. Travelers must walk to the top, as there are many fallen trees around.<ref>{{Cite web|lang=ru|url=https://peterburg2.ru/restplaces/gora-gapselga-vepsovskaya-vozvyshennost-30674.html|title=Гапсельга (Вепсовская возвышенность)}}</ref>
