What You’ll Experience

Bojan and Anja are a father and daughter from Bovec who can tell you many interesting things about mushrooms. Both are experts in determining mushroom, Bojan even holds the highest title at the Mycological Association of Slovenia - a mentor. So when you go to the forest to pick mushrooms, they are definitely the right company. Before you embark on an adventure into the mushroom kingdom of the Bovec forests, you will head to the terrace of Bovec kitch’n to be served a delicious home-made breakfast made from local ingredients - giving you enough energy for a few hours of hiking through the forest as you look for and learn about mushrooms. Return to Bovec kitch’n with a basket of freshly picked edible mushrooms and learn how to clean, prepare and store them. After that, create your own mushroom-based dishes under the watchful eye of the hosts and then taste them. The experience has received local quality certificate Soča Valley Finest and is a part of Slovenia Unique Experiences. In case of bad weather, we’ll reschedule the experience if possible. If not, the experience will be cancelled. You will be notified beforehand.
