Open days – Nin Saltworks

Nin Saltworks, over 1500 years old, organizes Open Days event every year for visitors. In this way, with professional guidance, it wants to show the real story about the making of salt in a completely natural way.  As part of the Salt Festival, all visitors can participate in creative salt-picking workshops. In Nin Saltworks salt is not produced by man or by machine. Salt is produced by sun, sea and wind and the man is picking it with love. Nin salt is medicinal, ecological and completely natural for daily nutritional and health use. Open Days give you the opportunity to learn all about the so-called “white gold” – salt, the healing mud of Nin, the Velebit wind and about 200 bird species that inhabit the region.

As part of this multi-day event, one must visit the Salt Museum, where you can see many exhibits that were used in traditional salt production and salt gathering, which are still partially used today to preserve rich tradition and quality.

As part of the Nin Saltworks, there is the Salt House, where you will find lots of black and white photographs which show salt picking in the past, you will see old tools for work and wagons for transporting salt. At the same time, you can watch a documentary in Croatian, English or German language that will tell you all about the only ecological salt-pans in the Adriatic, the Nin Saltworks.
