Rudijev Dom Mountain Lodge on Donačka Gora

Description
The home is located on Polajžar's lawn in Sedel, below the top of Donačka gora, which was named after the church of St. Donat. The old name of the mountain is Rogaška gora, as it looks like a horn from Rogaška Slatina. The first hut was built just below the peak by the Rogaška branch of the SPD from Rogaška Slatina and opened on May 26, 1929. It was burned down during the war in 1943, but was not rebuilt later. PD Sloga Rogatec decided in 1974 to build a new home. They searched for a suitable location for two years, and in 1976 they started building a mountain home. In 1977, the road to the home was repaired and widened, and then in 1980, the lower premises were arranged and a refuge was arranged for mountaineers. Due to financial problems, the home and log cabin (outbuilding) were extended and opened only on June 23, 1984. At the opening, the most deserving member, Feliks Zalezina, cut the ribbon at the front door. Later, during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of PD (June 11, 1988), the mountain lodge was named after a local, cultural and sports worker and long-time member Rudi Lebič (1929-1984), who also worked during the construction of the lodge.
There are 80 seats and a bar in the catering area, 100 seats at the tables in front of the house, 20 beds in 5 rooms, and an additional 40 beds in the shared beds. The home has a toilet, a washroom with hot and cold water, a dining area (heated by a rustic stove) with running water and electricity.

A partial view is from the meadow above the house, and the whole view is only from the top of Donačka gora. In the east, nearby Macelj rises, and southeast of it the view stops at the hills and hills of Hrvatske Zagorje with Strahinščica and Ivanščica; on the south side, behind the Rogaško podolje with Rogatec and Rogaška Slatina, the hills of Kozjansko rise, bordered on the south side by the peaks of the Posavski Hribovje with Bohorje, and the Gorjanci can be seen behind. On the western side, Boč is nearby, and behind it we can see the Pohorje and the Savinja Alps. On the north side are the Haloze with humped hills with vineyards, and behind them are the Ptujska and Dravsko polje and the Slovenske gorice, and with the clear atmosphere, you can also see the Pannonian plain with Blatni jezero.
