Park Forest Zlatni rt - Golden Cape
The park forest Zlatni rt (Punta corrente) is one of the most interesting natural attractions of Rovinj. Georg Hütterott bought towards the end of the XIX. Century on the Rovinj coast four islands (St. Andrew, Maškin, Šturag and St. Ivan). In what is now the area of the Golden Cape, he began planting various plants on an area of 90 hectares with the aim of establishing a climatic health resort. Due to his untimely death, the project was not completed, but the idea persisted. At the same time, this also marked the beginning of organized tourism.
Because the peculiarity of the Golden Cape was recognized, the forest park was declared a nature reserve in 1961.
