Sveti Jurij - Rudijev dom na Donački gori

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 in the parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From St George's Church, continue up the road. After 100m walk, you will come to a crossroads, where you turn left. After another 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.
Continue straight on in the direction of Rudi's home and St Donatus. After a few minutes of further walking, the slope drops and the path turns left. There is a short slope crossing to the west to the church of St Donatus.
From the church, continue in the direction of Rudi's home along the path that goes into the forest. The path initially crosses the western slopes of Donačka gora and then briefly ascends a steep and slip-prone slope in the wet. The path then leads to a farm, after which you step out onto a road, where you continue to the right. The road continues the climb and after 5 minutes leads to Rudi's home.
