Which places, locales or areas do you think are the hardest to access in the DCU? Why are they hard to access?
Gemworld? Gorilla City? Nanda Parbat? The Tower of Fate? The Batcave? Themyscira? Etc.?
The Batcave - Depend on your security clearance and knowledge of secret passages - Joker knows the sea passage - Ra's, Bane and Rorschach know the clock - Since the cave is naturally connected through a network, multiple criminals have accidentally found it
Justice League Satellite - Needs the teleporter code and/or someone strong enough to attack it with brute force like Despero
Themyscira - Depend on the gods - Steve's plane was allowed in - Diana only saw the illusion after she left
Sphere of The Gods - Need to be a god or invited to their ranks
Beyond The Source Wall - I don't remember if The Source allow it or the fight between Super Celestials Perpetua, Darkest Knight and Wonder Woman broke it
Apokolips? Although I guess you could conceivably just Boom Tube there.
The original DC Metaverse, i.e. the version of the DCU that started in 1938. It's probably still rolling along somewhere, completely unaware that there might be a multiverse (or more) out there. I'm not sure it CAN be traveled to.
The Marvel Universe - It's been repeatedly established that it *can* be accessed (get it?), but it's damn hard.
Themyscira?
That's my guess.
"Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might get run over or you might get shot" - Sublime
The paradise dimension where Kal-L, Earth-Two Lois Lane, Superboy Prime, and Alexander Luthor (Earth-Three) went after COIE.
On a similar note, that dimension where Pariah has found the ruins of the original (Pre-COIE) Multiverse.
Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)
Buried Alien - THE FASTEST POST ALIVE!
First CBR Appearance (Historical): November, 1996
First CBR Appearance (Modern): April, 2014
Depending on DC Editorial actually coming to work or actually existing:
Paradise Island aka Themyscira -- various reasons have been provided over the years from Amazon science borne screens and interference to divine mists to Amazon magicks to bring inside pocket dimension nestled within the formless chaos void from which the universe was born to being completely disassociated with Time and Space able to touch the three dimensional plane at any point or time the Amazons chose to Godly wards
Rock of Eternity - one must be able to exceed light speed to reach the Rock's location at the nexus point of all time and space
Fate's Tower - mystical camouflage hides it and only Fate's magicks can open doors to the windowless, doorless structure
Fortress of Solitude - this depends on the version. the one with the key that could only be hefted by Superman level strength or greater was pretty secure because only 3 people could get in

The Source Wall. Literal gods can’t breach it and end up trapped as another brick in the wall.
Cue Pink Floyd.
The Source Wall was destroyed in Metal. Funny thing is, as it was first introduced in an X-Men/New Teen Titans crossover, it should exist in the Marvel Universe too and could theoretically be the way to get there. Yet it never came up in later crossovers.

All the magic spots. Tower of Fate, Rock of Eternity, Themyscira
All the other places mentioned can be accessed multiple ways, but for the magic strongholds if you aren't packing high level magics you aren't reaching them
