The Sečovlje salt pans are right on the border with Croatia. You can even cycle through some of the trails. In the salt pans there is a small museum and information center. In addition to the salt extraction, which takes place between the end of April and the end of August, you can also observe many birds.

The large salt pans near Piran, in southwest Slovenia and just before the border with Croatia, are among the oldest salt pans still in operation in Europe. Sea salt has been extracted here in the traditional way since the 13th century. The salt pans extend across the Sečovlje Salt Pans Nature Reserve and offer a fascinating interplay of nature and centuries-old craftsmanship. Visitors can learn about the salt harvesting process and visit the Salt Museum, which provides an insight into the history and importance of salt production in the region (entrance fee €7). The salt pans are also an important wetland that provides a habitat for numerous bird species.
