Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Rogaška Slatina, then continue to Rogatec. In Rogatec, turn left at the roundabout in the direction of Ptuj, and then follow the main road to the Brzika Pass, where you will see red mountain direction signs and park in a suitable place.
b) Drive to Majšperk, then follow the signs for Stoperce on Rogatec. After Stoperce the road starts to climb steeply, and we follow it to the Brzika pass, where we see red mountain direction signs, at which we park in a suitable place.
Path description:
From the starting point, follow the macadam road which branches off to the east and along which there are signs for Rudijev dom and Donačka gora. Walk along the dirt road for a short distance before the road descends gently to a nearby house and bear slightly left onto cart track, which climbs crossways along the edge of the hayfield. Continue a little further along the lower cart track, along which there are signs for Rudi's home, and then climb along the pasture fence to a small saddle linking Gaj (454 m) and Ženčaj (582 m).
At the saddle, go right and walk to a wider macadam road, which you follow to the left. The way ahead leads along a macadam road, which mostly climbs gently to moderately, with only a short part of the road going downhill a little. Higher up, the road turns right and leads us to a crossroads, where we go sharp left, following the signs for Rudi's home. There are a few minutes of cross-country climbing through the forest, and when we leave the forest, we go right and follow the less well-trodden path that leads us across the meadow to the hunting observatory, which is located on the saddle connecting Donačka gora with Ženčaj.
Here the path turns slightly to the left and ascends crosswise, and at a nearby house the path widens into a forest road, along which we continue to Rudi's house, a few minutes away.
