Fishermen's Harbor at the Sečovlje Salt Pans

Highlight • Structure

The salt pans of Sicciole are the largest on the Adriatic and are the only ones where the salt is still harvested by hand following the traditional method handed down by the salt workers for more than 700 years. The Parenzana cycle path offers wonderful views of these expanses of salt.
