To visit the megaliths of this station, they can be reached from the Ventas de Astigarraga. You must take the local highway that goes to the caves of Landarbaso or Aitzbitarte. At approximately the kilometer 2 mark of the route, to the right of the highway and very close it, you can find the menhir of Langagorri in a harvest field.

Starting from this point and close to the nearby village, you can begin the visit of the seven dolmens denominated with the local name of Landarbaso, starting with that of Landarbaso VI. To do this, it is necessary to descend to the channel and then climb up the other side, which is the hillside of the Igoin Mountain.

We are now on the NW side of the Igoin mountain range. However, it is more comfortable to continue along the highway to reach the town of Astabiskar and from there, level walking to the dolmens Landarbaso V and 100 m to the North Landarbaso VI. Starting from here, you must walk uphill to reach the others of Landarbaso and later the mountain pass of Igoin. The dolmen of Landarbaso II can be found 280 m to the SE of the town of the same name. 80 m to the NE of this, you will find the dolmen of Landarbaso I. The dolmen of Landarbaso IV is 190 m to the W of the town of Landarbaso, 210 m to the NNW of the dolmen of Landarbaso V. Today, it is most easily found by the power cables. It is 45 m from the second tower located to the NE of the aforementioned town. 190 m to the W of the dolmen of Landarbaso IV is the dolmen of Landarbaso III.

In the mountain pass of Igoin is the dolmen of Igoingo Lepua I. From here, you must follow the dividing ridges of the waters towards the SW. Igoingo Lepua II is easily reached, 180 m to the WSW of the mountain pass of Igoingo Lepua, and all the others until Sagastietako Lepua I. It is in the mountain pass of Sagastietako Lepua (also called Saratsetako Lepua) where we will find this dolmen. The dolmen of Sagastietako Lepua II is located 60 m ESE of Sagastietako Lepua I.

80 meters to the SSE of the mountain pass of Akolako Lepua, next to the trails that cross it at this point (the one that goes to Igoingo Lepua and the other that goes to the Akolako Lepua mountain pass), is the dolmen of Akolako Lepua I.

On the SW side of the Arritxieta Mountain, 130 m to the NE of the mountain pass of Akolako Lepua, we can find the dolmen of Akolako Lepua II.

160 m to the ENE of the previous is the dolmen of Arritxieta.
