Sečovlje Salina Nature Park
Krajinski park Sečoveljske soline
A salt pan area that has been producing salt by hand for seven centuries and is also a bird habitat. Along the pan paths you can watch salt workers harvest and buy fleur de sel.
The salt pans cover about 650 hectares, and salt workers still use medieval methods to evaporate seawater on "petola" clay beds. The Piran salt and fleur de sel are famous across Europe. You can explore the Lera area on foot or by bike, and the Fontanigge area in the north has a Salt Museum (open in summer). Admission is about €8 to 9, and the park has a mud and salt-water spa. It is about 7 km south of Piran, close to the Croatian border.
Opening hours
About 8:00–20:00 (shorter in winter)
