Sveti Jurij - Donačka gora (eastern peak) (eastern way)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Dramlje exit and follow the road towards Šentjurje, Rogaška Slatina and Rogatec. In Rogatec, the signs for Donačka gora direct you to the left. Just a little further on, you reach the next crossroads, where you continue right again in the direction of Donačka gora. Continue towards the village of Sveti Jurij (do not follow the signs for Donačka gora). In the village of Sveti Jurij, turn left uphill towards the church of St. George, by which you park. You can park a little further down the road in the parking lot.

Path description:
From St George's Church, continue up the road. After 100 m walk, you will reach a crossroads, where you turn left. After a further few dozen steps, you reach a farm where a marked footpath turns right uphill. The path first climbs across a meadow, then turns right, where it crosses lane of bushes and then, at a cross, leads to the next farm. Here we continue up the marked cart track, which soon leads us over a scenic slope to a fork in the path, where we continue to the right in the direction of Donačka gora (Rudi's house on the left).
Continue along cart track, which climbs only slightly to the east. The cart track offers views towards nearby Macle and the villages below Donačka gora. After a while the cart track, which gradually becomes quite steep, starts to turn to the left. When we have almost rounded Donačka gora, we reach a crossroads where we continue uphill to the left (straight ahead Rudijev dom, right Žetale). After a short climb on the overgrown path, the path from Rudijev dom joins us from the right. Here we continue in the direction Donačka gora along the path, which climbs quite steeply. When the steepness subsides, the steep slopes are crossed. The way forward leads us under the steep summit slope of the eastern peak of Donačka gora. A very steep climb follows, along a well-sheltered path to the ridge. Go left here (right West Peak - 20 minutes) and you will quickly reach the precipitous East Peak of Mount Donacca.
