Access
The saltpans are situated in the saltmarshes. Once you've parked you can easily enter the area walking or cycling and explore every saltpan that is accessible (some are blocked or there is no way to access without getting kneedeep in the mud). In the northern ones you will find ducks such as the kazarka pestrá, kačica divá and kačica chripľavka, whereas closer to the lagoon (sea side) you'll find more waders such as the pobrežník čiernozobý, pobrežník belavý, pobrežník krivozobý, kulík morský, kulík piesočný, hvizdák malý and šišila bocianovítá. A bit further way from the access, to the east, it is very common to find groups of plameniak ružový that allow bystanders to get quite close.
