Salt transportation

In the Museum of Salt-making, which is located in the abandoned part of the Sečovlje saltpans, you can get to know a lot of interesting things about the way salt was collected in the past.

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW THAT…?

In the past, when the salt workers were still living in the salt pans, they stored salt on the ground floor of their houses. When the ground floor was full, they had to take the salt somewhere else. At that time salt was transferred from the houses to ships that took the salt to larger warehouses. The ships at that time did not have engines, so the salt workers had to pull them with ropes from the canals in the saltpans to the sea. Some ships were able to sail from there to larger warehouses, while others called Maone were attached to a tugboat that pulled them to the salt warehouses in Portorož.

 

 

Help the boat filled of salt find its way through the maze to the warehouse in Portorož!
