    It was established as far back as 1995 that the point-set of a hyperbolic plane over a Euclidean field \(\mathbf K\) can be used to build a Bruck loop (K-loop) via regular involution set of the point reflections. Lately, the first two authors of the paper under review introduced some special classes of loops, namely, `fibered loops' and `limit rotation loops' associated with generalized hyperbolic planes; [\textit{H. Karzel, S. Pianta} and \textit{S. Pasotti}, Aequationes Math. 87, No. 1-2, 31-42 (2014; Zbl 1300.51011); and \textit{S. Pasotti} and \textit{S. Pianta}, Appl. Math. Sci., Ruse 7, No. 117-120, 5863-5878 (2013; \url{doi:10.12988/ams.2013.38430})]. In this present article, the authors continue in line of the aforementioned papers. They adopt the same geometric environment, and use related geometric approach to characterize the planar transversals of the same group, which results into loops and groups. The article is subdivided into six main sections, with the main results contained in Sections 5 and 6.
