Location - Pustevny is a significant mountain point and tourist attraction on the Beskydy Mountains ridge, offering a wide range of tourist, sports, and recreational activities. Since the late 19th century, the area has been progressively urbanized due to the rise of tourism. Architecturally significant buildings have emerged in the saddle, such as shelters designed by Dušan Jurkovič and the cable car terminal by Kamil Mrva, showcasing contemporary architectural approaches. The site is easily accessible from the north by cable car from Trojanovice or by car or bus from the south via the road from Prostřední Bečva, making it a popular destination. The original secluded character of the saddle, once home to hermitages (Czech “poustevníci”, hence the name Pustevny) isolated from the outside world, has transformed into a bustling area frequently visited by less experienced tourists and those interested in Pustevny's architectural heritage.

The lookout on the abandoned quarry hill can be found in the eastern part of the Horní Bečva village in the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area. Rising up on the left bank of the village water reservoir, fed by the Rožnovská Bečva river, the wooded hilltop is surrounded by a number of scattered family homes and recreational properties. An exposed quarry wall, partially unstable, forms its south-facing edge.
