Koper, Izola, Strunjan, Portorož … early morning January sun gradually paints the horizon in ever warmer tones, while the sea’s surface is smooth as glass, deceptively inviting. Placid apathy lies on the Sečovlje salt-pans with a single grey heron flying over the pools and canals. Dry rushes slowly bend in the cold wind coming from the sea.

It seems as if time has stopped here. It truly has. The Sečovlje and smaller Strunjan salt-pans are the only salt-pans in this part of the Adriatic Sea, where salt is still harvested manually with traditional tools according to a procedure that has remained practically unchanged for 700 years.

Salt is harvested from salt-pans that consist of pools for condensing seawater and crystallisation.
