Approach notes
A short trail drops from the pullout. After about 2 minutes there is a cairn: turn right for Krugi, or carry on along the sloping rock band over Horoskop and come down at its east end.
Driving route
From the Pula-Buje highway take the Rovinj/Kanfanar exit toward Vrsar. About 300 m after the Sveti Lovreč junction, pull in on the left by the small wooden viewpoint just past the olive orchard.
Access notes
Protected nature reserve; keep to the trails.
