Prelaz Vrhe - Joški vrh

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, take the Dramlje exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Šentjur, Rogaška Slatina and Rogatec. In Rogatec, signs for Donačka gora direct us left onto a somewhat narrower road, which we then follow towards the settlement Žetale. On a smaller pass, right at the spot where the municipality of Rogatec ends, we will notice a somewhat larger parking lot on the right side, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the pass, where we continue on the left ascending road in the direction of Donačka gora. After a short ascent, only a few meters after the house with thatched roof, signs for Donačka gora point us to the right on a gently sloping cart track, which after a few steps goes into a short forest belt.
The cart track quickly comes out of the forest and then continues on a panoramic meadow. Higher, the path brings us to a lonely homestead, past which leads the marked path. Only a little above the mentioned farm, we join a somewhat wider cart track which we follow to the right (left - Sveti Jurij and church of St. Donatus). The cart track, which further ascends diagonally, mostly through the forest brings us to the next junction, where the path towards Žetale branches off to the right.
Here we continue straight in the direction of Rudijev dom (left - Donačka gora) and diagonally descend. During the diagonal descent we cross the path Kupčinji Vrh - Donačka gora, and then arrive at a junction, where we reach a somewhat wider cart track.
We continue slightly left (sharply right - Kupčinji Vrh and Žetale) in the direction of Rudijev dom and cross the northern slopes of Donačka gora. When after some time, only a little after the hunting observatory we arrive at a smaller indistinct saddle, we go from the marked path to the right on an unmarked path, on which in two minutes of further walking we reach Joški vrh.
