Sečovlje Salina Nature Park features the country's biggest salt-evaporation pond. This site remains one of the last few where you can see salt produced in the traditional way. Also important, the surrounding wetland offers a breeding place fro water birds. In operation since the 13th century, these salt works continue production in order to protect the area's cultural and natural heritage. Planning Seča trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

It was a stunning nature park. They produce salt there, and I found the job very hard for those in the salt production department. There are several pre-procedures and numerous after that to prepare a quality salt. You have the option to buy salt from them (at the ticket selling part), and I think it is good to support them because they are doing this hard job just to keep the tradition alive. We saw more than a few birds there that are very beautiful. Inside there is a museum, and you can see the old movies of the area to get more information about this beautiful tradition.

A quick visit should be sufficient. It isn’t a must see but when nearby it is a nice opportunity to learn how salt is harvested. One of the few places in South-Europe where it is still hand labor and not industrialised.
