The Hermit Caves are located at an altitude of about 165 meters on the northern slope of the 207 meter high Óvár Hill between the districts of Tihanyvár and Gödrös. From the top of Calvary Hill in Tihany, a narrow footpath runs along the same height on the southwestern slope of Óvár Hill. After about two kilometers, the path turns north and shortly afterwards east around Óvár Hill and after a few meters reaches the caves. This footpath leads through a landscape of so-called "Pannonian grasslands", which is home to numerous rare and protected plants. A shorter footpath starts from a parking lot at the end of Kecskeköröm utca in Gödrös. Another footpath climbs steeply to the caves from Lepke sor, the road leading to Tihany along the northern shore of the peninsula, about 300 meters before the Tihany pier. This footpath leads past the Cyprian Spring (Hungarian: ciprián forrás). The original name of the spring was "Russian Well" (Hungarian: Orosz kútnak), which can be interpreted as meaning that the hermits were Russian Basilians. On all signposts the caves are only called "Barátlakások" in Hungarian. The Óvár Hill is a basalt tuff rock. On its summit there are remains of earthworks.
