Visit The Zlatni Rt Park Forest.
Known as Punta Corrente, The Zlatni Rt is the most significant nature park in the northeastern part of coastal Croatia.
The Zlatni Rt (Golden Cape) Park Forest is just a 15-minute walk from the center of Rovinj. The entire forest spreads over 52 hectares, providing visitors with an experience of a completely different world of an unparalleled splendor of plant species and precious shade during the long summer days.
Known as Punta Corrente, it is the most significant nature park in the northeastern part of coastal Croatia. The park boasts around a thousand native plant species but also many foreign ones. There are Himalayan cedars, which were planted in the shape of a six-pointed star, as well as cypress and pine tree alleys, and meadows surrounded by Douglas firs and Italian pencil cypresses – they are all integral parts of this impressive forest oasis.
The cleaning up of the Golden Cape began in the late 19th century, owing to the efforts of Count Johann Georg Hütterott. His wife’s pavilion is still there, in the forest, alongside the gamekeeper’s house. There are also traces of a small boatyard, old piers, a quarry, dry stone walls and a large wall on the edge of the count’s estate. The Golden Cape was designated as a protected area in 1948, and a forest park in 1961.
The Golden Cape is an great destination for all recreationists as well as serious athletes. Golden Cape is ideal for various sporting activities such as running, cycling, gymnastics. The old quarry has been transformed into a paradise for lovers of free climbing.
In the summer, you can swim in the clear blue sea. Rocky beaches are ideal if you want to relax in peace and parents with children can go to one of the pebbly bays. After a swim, visit one of the Beach Bars and refresh yourself.Do you want to receive special offers?
