Rovinj - Punta corrente

 A long time ago there was a quarry here and its rocks were used to build some places in Venice. The rocks are situated at very end of the cape, some 20 meters from the sea. One can have a wonderful view of Rovinj and nearby islands and can really enjoy climbing in this area. The place is also convenient for climbing courses and family outings. One can go jogging or riding a bike in the park and sea can be an ideal way of refreshing in the summer.
