Discover the secrets of salt production and explore the rich natural and cultural heritage of one of the most picturesque corners of Slovenia.
The Sečovlje Salina Nature Park is a place where nature and history meet. The salt pans were formed along the Dragonja River, where, over the centuries, people developed traditional methods of salt production. This unique ecosystem was shaped by alluvial deposits and natural processes that enabled the establishment of salt fields. The history of salt-making, which dates back centuries, is still alive in every corner of this park. Here, you can learn about the heritage and stories of the people whose significant work has shaped this beautiful place.
A visit to the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park is the perfect opportunity to explore the diverse flora and fauna and uncover the secrets of salt-making. The park offers various themed paths that guide you through protected areas of the salt pans, where you can admire the rich wildlife. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded in the park. During your visit, you must not miss the multimedia center, where you can learn about the water regime of the salt pans and the park's unique features, as well as the observation platform offering a beautiful panoramic view of the salt pans and the surrounding area.

Visit the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park today and indulge in the charms of one of the most beautiful natural areas in Slovenia.
Lera: The first land entrance is located in Seca, where visitors can explore the Lera area. A steep path paved with granite cobblestones leads to Lera: from the main road connecting Lucija with the Secovlje border crossing, a right turn at the top of the hill leads to Seca. At the end of the paved part of the path is an intersection (on the right is the Pick & Place building); from here, the main entrance to the Secovlje Salina Nature Park (KPSS) can already be seen on the bridge over the St. Bartholomew's Canal.
Fontanigge: The second land entrance can be accessed via a gravel road along the Dragonja River (after crossing the Slovenian border control point on the main road, just before the bridge over the Dragonja, turn right). The Fontanigge area also hosts the Musemum of Salt Making.
