The KPSS has two land entrances. A steep, granite-paved path leads to Lera: from the main road connecting Lucija with the Sečovlje border crossing, turn right at the top of Seča hill. At the end of the cobbled part of the path is a crossroads (the Pick & Place building is on the right); from here, the main entrance to the KPSS can be seen directly over the Jernej Canal Bridge. At the entrance there is a lock and a car park. Dogs are not allowed in the Lera area! Access to the Salt Pans Museum is via the dirt road along the Dragonja (after crossing the border checkpoint on the main road, just before the bridge over the Dragonja) to the Fontanigge area.

Guided tours of the park are intended for visitors who, in addition to taking a walk in the park, want to learn more about the Sečovlje Salt Landscape Park and the tradition of salt production.

The guided tour of the Lera salt pans lasts at least 1.5 hours. The tour includes a walk of about 2 km from the Lera entrance to the visitor centre (MMC) and back. Along the way, the guide - a nature conservation officer - presents the Sečovlje Salt Landscape Park (flora, fauna, cultural heritage) and the salt extraction process. At the Visitors' Centre there is a short film and a presentation of the water regime with an interactive model of the salt pans. A panoramic view of the entire salt pans area can be enjoyed from the viewing platform and the nearby “Fioret” cafeteria offers drinks and, by reservation, food. In Lera is the “Lera” shop, where visitors can buy salt and other salt-related products. On the ground floor of the shop is a gallery displaying works of art by famous and less famous artists.

Birdwatching, better known as bird watching, is the observation of wild birds in nature. It is a passion that can fascinate everyone, adults and children alike. The world of birdwatching is rich in discoveries, as are the many species that can be observed in the varied mix of habitats of the salt marshes. The Sečovlje salt marshes are interesting in all seasons. More than 300 different species of birds have been recorded. The programme lasts 3 hours. The maximum number of participants is 12.  Appropriate footwear and equipment is recommended depending on the weather conditions.

The Salt Museum is located in Fontaniggee on the Giassi Canal, one of the four restored salt houses with a museum collection on display and a salt collection with a seawater intake canal (Giassi). Guided tours are also available at the Salt Museum! The route along the Dragonja from the entrance lock
