Code of conduct
The visitors of the Park are kindly requested to:
- experience the unique environment of the salt-pans by foot or bike by following the marked routes long the Dragonja river and at Lera, or along the St. Jernej Channel;
- to leave their cars at parking places in front of the entrances to the Park or to make a journey there with the special boat;
- be considerate of walkers, bikers and salters, if they decide to visit the Park with a motor vehicle, by driving very slowly only to the Park's administration building at Lera or to the Museum of Salt-making at Fontanigge;
- to visit the Park in the company of our guide along one of the Salina's nature trails;
- to keep their dogs on the lead if taking a walk along the Dragonja river or St. Jernej Channel, in order not to disturb the birds or other visitors, or to prevent any damage being made to the salt fields' substratum;
- to understand that salt fields are home to endangered animal and plant species and that this is the reason why they should not walk in them, throw stones into them, bathe in brine or mud and take mud away in any quantities;
- to watch the animals without disturbing or pursuing them in any way;
- not to pick flowers, bearing in mind that they are endangered and certainly the prettiest when admired in nature itself;
- to be aware that camping, fire burning, swimming and fishing disturb the highly sensitive salt-pan environment;
- to respect the work of the salt-pan workers;
- to understand that salt is a victual and that they should in no way encroach upon it;
- not to damage the abandoned salt-pan houses and other structures, sluice gates and levees;
- to keep the Park clean by taking any leftovers and litter with them or to the nearest container;
- to make audio and video recordings, but not for commercial purposes.
