Let Z be a so-called well-behaved percolation, i.e. a certain random closed set in the hyperbolic plane, whose law is invariant under all isometries; for example the covered region in a Poisson Boolean model. The Hausdorff-dimension of the set of directions is determined in terms of the $\alpha$-value of Z in which visibility from a fixed point to the ideal boundary of the hyperbolic plane is possible within Z. Moreover, the Hausdorff-dimension of the set of (hyperbolic) lines through a fixed point contained in Z is calculated. Thereby several conjectures raised by Benjamini, Jonasson, Schramm and Tykesson are confirmed.
