Mount Saint Donatus, Mountain summit in eastern Slovenia.

Mount Saint Donatus reaches an elevation of 882 meters above sea level, featuring three distinct peaks along a sharp limestone and sandstone ridge.

Archaeological discoveries near the summit include Neolithic stone axes, bronze tools from 1000 BC, and a late antique necropolis containing multiple sarcophagi.

The mountain received its current name in the 19th century from a church dedicated to Saint Donatus, replacing earlier names referencing its horn-like shape.

Visitors can access the mountain through marked trails starting from Rudi Lodge, located at 590 meters elevation on the western slope.

The northern slope contains a protected beech forest reserve established in 1965, providing habitat for deer and wild boar populations.
