"Prvi tumbìn" (top.) je nadvožnjak stare željezničke pruge Kanfanar-Rovinj (odvojka pruge Trst-Pula), dovršene 1876. godine, koja od 1966. nije više u funkciji. Danas je to primjer industrijsko-željezničke arheologije. Naime, i na rovinjskom dijelu te pruge, uzduž nekoliko podužih dionica, kao što je ovaj koji je prelazio preko "prvog tumbìna", održao se relativno dobro nadgrađeni sloj tucanika, željeznički prag i tračnice kao dokaz djela austrijskog željezničko-građevinskog inženjerstva visoke vrijednosti. Put ulijevo vodi prema već odavno napuštenom kamenolomu Mondelàco, na padini istoimenog brda. Bio je to jedan od brojnih rovinjskih kamenoloma koji su uzduž same obale ali i u unutrašnjosti bili otvoreni već u rimskom periodu a posebice u mletačko doba. Vađenje i obrada kamena spadale su u najvažnije rovinjske privredne grane. Vadile su se različite vrste kamene, ali nadasve tzv. istarski "biancone" (totinski vapnenac gornje Jure), kojim su izgrađene brojne zgrade, rive, crkve, mostovi i druge građevine u Veneciji i u nekim drugim gradovima Veneta, Romagne i Marche. Uvijek je živa predodžba rovinjskih kamenorezaca koji "znalački lome kamen s/kao/drvo(m)". Toponim Mondelàco označava da je u njegovoj blizini nekada bila "lokva" (tal. dijal. "làco"). Lokve su u prošlosti bile brojne i karakteristične i za rovinjski poljski pejzaž.
We are in front of the so-called “Second Tumbìn” (top.), the overpass of the old Kanfanar-Rovinj railroad track (section of the Trieste – Pula track) completed in 1876. The track has not been used since 1966. Today it is an example of industrial/railroad archaeology. To be more precise, along several long sections of the Rovinj part of the mentioned track, such as the one that crossed the “second tumbìn” (overpass), a relatively well-filled layer of crushed stone, a railroad tie and rails have been preserved bearing witness to this high-value product of Austrian railroad civil engineering. The railroad route, elevated at some points by 1 or 3 meters in relation to the nearby terrain, ensures a panoramic view of the surrounding bays and hills, whose floristic landscape is characterized by Mediterranean maquis and English oak, Turkey oak, holm oak, ash, elm, hornbeam, European cornel, spruce, chestnut, strawberry tree, and various types of bushes. Asparagus plants grow in the spring, and mushrooms in the fall. The trenches along the road that leads in both directions from the “Second tumbìn”serve today, as they did in the past, to channel the precipitation water in order to avoid floods in the fields and road damage, thus enabling the filling of depressions and wells.
