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

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Dramlje and follow the road ahead in the direction of Šentjur, Rogaška Slatina and Rogatec. In Rogatec signs for Donačka gora point us to the left. Only a little further, we come to the next crossroad, where we continue right again in the direction of Donačka gora. Further, we drive towards the village Sveti Jurij (ahead don't follow the signs for Donačka gora). And in the village Sveti Jurij we turn left upwards towards the church of St. Jurij, by which we park. We can park already little lower on a parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the church of St. Jurij we continue on the road upwards. After 100 meters of walking, we get to a crossroad, where we continue left. After additional few ten strides of walking, we get to the farm, where a marked footpath turns right upwards. The path at first ascends through a meadow, then turns right, where crosses a lane of bushes and then by the cross brings us to the next farm. Here we continue upwards on a marked cart track which over a panoramic slope soon brings us to a crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Donačka gora (left - Rudijev dom).
We continue on a cart track which is barely ascending towards the east. From the cart track on which we walk nice views opening up towards the nearby Macelj and villages below Donačka gora. And after a time the cart track which gradually becomes quite steep, starts turning to the left side. When we almost circle Donačka gora we come to a crossing, where we continue left upwards (straight - Rudijev dom, right - Žetale). After a short ascent on a beaten path from the right joins also the path from the mountain hut Rudijev dom. Here we continue in the direction of Donačka gora on the path which is further relatively steeply ascending. When the steepness decreases follows a crossing of steep slopes. And the path ahead brings us below the steep upper slope of the eastern peak of Donačka gora. Next follows a very steep ascent, on a well-secured path to the ridge. Here we go left (right - western peak - 20 minutes) and we quickly get to the precipitous eastern peak of Donačka gora.
