Immerse yourself in the woods surrounding Ferrara di Monte Baldo and experience the excitement of a real Truffle Hunting adventure, searching for truffles alongside a licensed Truffle Hunter and his loyal dog. An authentic activity, limited to a small number of participants, that will allow you to discover one of the most fascinating treasures of the area.
The experience begins with a brief introduction to the world of truffles: their biology, search techniques, the valuable role of the dog, and the rules that guide ethical and sustainable harvesting. Following this, you and the group, depending on the day's conditions, will embark on a guided walk through the woods or within a controlled truffle field.
Along the way, you will discover the symbiotic trees, learn to recognize the signs of the ground, and understand the good practices that contribute to the protection of this delicate ecosystem. You will closely observe the perfect synergy between the truffle hunter and his dog, experiencing something authentic and far from the more conventional paths.
With a duration of about 2 hours, this activity is designed to be accessible, engaging, and deeply connected to the nature and traditions of Monte Baldo.
