In the landscape of “countless swaying mirrors”, in the Sečovlje Saltpans Nature Park, the traditional Saltmakers’ Festival on the Feast of St Jernej will take place again this year.
The programme will begin on Saturday, 29 August, when visitors will follow in the footsteps of salt workers among the salt pans, taste authentic homemade dishes, enjoy the music of Istrian musicians and discover the life of a salt-making family.
On Sunday, 30 August, the celebration will continue in front of the Church of St Jernej in Seča. After Holy Mass, there will be a gathering with locals, friends and musicians, marking the conclusion of this year’s festival.
A special note will be added by the poetry of Tone Pavček, who expressed in his verses his admiration for the Sečovlje Salt Pans – a place of authentic experiences, rich heritage and breathtaking views.
You are invited to experience salt-making tradition and the unique atmosphere of the Sečovlje Salt Pans.
