Sečovlje Salina Nature Park

Welcome to the land of salt,
where the past and the present shake hands


Introduction to the park area

In the Sečovlje Salt Landscape Park, the past and present still shake hands. The traditional manual harvesting of salt on the salt pans is still something special.

The employees of the Public Service for Nature Conservation protect and preserve the natural and cultural heritage in the park area by ensuring a favourable conservation status of plants, animals and their habitats, and by developing sustainable tourism and traditional salt production.

You'll be amazed by the rich biodiversity

The salt marshes are unique wetlands with rich biodiversity, but they are also exceptional habitats that are home to interesting plant and animal species that have managed to adapt to the extreme conditions of the salt marshes. As they are mostly sandwiched between the land and the sea, a whole range of different habitats can be expected.

Cultural heritage and saltworks museum

The cultural heritage of the Piran Salt Pans reflects the centuries-old life and work of the salt workers of the Northeastern shores of the Adriatic Sea. Of the once numerous salt pans in the Gulf of Trieste, only those in Sečovlje and Strunjan have survived, making their testimony even more precious.
