This is a scenic run on paths around the salt flats of Krajinski Park (Sečovlje Salina). These salt pans have been cultivated for 700 years. There’s also great viewing of birds, brine shrimp, and rare plants. It can be combined with other waterfront paths in Portorož.
Google Street View A good starting point is the car park. A loop around the paths is ~5.3 km. Use the paved Parecag path and other myriad gravel paths around the flats. For a longer run, combine with the path along the the Jerneja Canal. From the car park, it’s 2 km west, where you can then join the waterfront path north to Portorož.
Add-Ons: In addition to the salt flats, there’s 2 km along the Jerneja Canal, and ~10 km of waterfront paths north to Portorož & Piran.

Gorgeous waterfront route between Portorož and Piran, nearly all on a dedicated promenade. Great views of the Adriatic, monuments, marinas, and beaches. Good options for longer waterfront run.
Great waterfront paths from Portorož headed south for 4 km around the harbour and marina, and then for 2 km along the Jerneja Canal. Great views! Add on with Krajinski salt flats path or waterfront path north to Piran.
For another running option in the Portorož area, there are some nice paths in Strunjan. We've put together a route combining a loop around the harbour, the nature reserve around the salt flats, and then some more rugged paths out to Park Strunjan.
Some very nice waterfront running in the old fishing town of Izola. We've put together a route showcasing the piers and path around the mraina, and another route on a paved waterfront path east to Koper. Can be combined!
