Slovenia's best known coastal resort (Port of Roses) was known as a holistic healing centre as far back as the 13th century when monks from the St. Laurence Monastery were treating rheumatic illnesses, amongst others, with concentrated salt water and salina mud. It wasn't until the second half of the 19th century that the decision to promote tourism, by offering such treatments was put into action. Since that time the town has been declared a health resort and numerous hotels have sprung up to accommodate visitors to the thermal health centres.

Picturesque Piran (Pirano in Italian) sits prettily at the tip of a narrow peninsula. Its Old Town – one of the best-preserved historical towns anywhere in the Mediterranean – is a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture, but it can be a mob scene at the height of summer. The central town square was named after the town's most famous resident, Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770), the violinist who ran a music school in Piran, which was famous throughout Europe.

The Babičev Floating Mill forms an invaluable part of Slovenia's rich cultural heritage. The original mill, bought by the Babič family in 1912 was destroyed by fire some 15 years later. A new mill was constructed in the same place a year after this. In an attempt to protect the new mill from potential disaster, the mill house was built by the river bank and the mill wheel contructed on and between two boats floating on the river, secured to the bank. Disaster did strike and the mill was washed downstream, forcing the family to build a new mill in 1947. The mill seen today is the fourth generation of the mill, yet still bares the Babič name. The traditional milling techniques of yesteryear can still be seen when visiting the mill. It's possible to purchase freshly milled products.

Legend has it, that crusaders on their way to the holy land, stopped on one of these beautiful hills to rest. Here they were met by hospitable locals, that offered them good wine, and that is when they decided never to leave this place. They claimed the region as their own and named it Jeruzalem. And to this day it remains one of the most striking places with one of the most spectacular views over the surrounding vineyards.

The source of Soča river is the place where the most beautiful & wild Slovene river comes to the surface. The crystal clear emerald waters burst out into daylight out of a small underground lake at the end of a narrow gorge in Zadnja Trenta valley. The playful river then creates an interesting 10-meter waterfall and countless smaller ones before it continues on its way down the Trenta valley.

The reserve is the biggest wetland on the coastline. In the northern part of the reserve called Lera, people harvest salt using a 700 year old method – they use wooden tools and look after the so-called petola, the base of the salt pans that functions as a bio filter. That ensures that the salt doesn’t mix with silt from the sea, and allows it to remain white and clean. The quality of the salt and salt flower, a very thin, topmost layer in the ponds is famous and cherished all over the world. Meanwhile, the abandoned southern part of the reserve called Fontanigge features many unique sights – birds, vast fields of halophytes and over 100 abandoned and demolished buildings that were once used by workers in the salt industry, which contribute to the charm of the Sečovlje salt pans. The reserve became a habitat for various animals and plants. Sečovlje saltpans are interesting in all seasons.
