Prelaz Vrhe - Donačka gora (eastern peak)

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 onto a slightly narrower road, which you then follow towards the settlement of Žetale. At a small pass, just at the point where the municipality Rogatec ends, you will see a slightly larger parking lot on your right, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, first walk to the pass, where you continue along the left ascending road in the route Donačka gora. After a short climb, just a few metres beyond a thatched-roof house, the signs for Donačka gora direct you right onto a folded cart track, which after a few steps goes into a short lane of woodland.
Cart track quickly emerges from the forest and then continues along a hayfield. Higher up, the path leads to a secluded farmhouse, past which a waymarked path leads. Just above the farm, we join the slightly wider cart track which we follow to the right (to the left Sveti Jurij and St Donat's Church). Cart track, which continues to climb crosswise, leads us mostly through the forest to the next crossroads, where we continue to the left in the direction of Donačka gora (straight ahead - Rudi's home, to the right - Žetale).
After a short climb on a well-made path, the path from Rudi's home joins us from the right. Here we continue straight in the direction of Donačka gora on the path, which climbs quite steeply. When the steepness subsides, the steep slopes are crossed. The way ahead leads us under the steep summit slope of the eastern peak Donačka gora. A very steep climb follows, along a well protected path to the ridge.
Go left here (right West Peak Donačka gora 20 minutes) and quickly reach the precipitous East Peak of Mount Donačka.
