In spring, the forest shows its special side: mushrooms emerge from among the fallen leaves, fragrant herbs accompany us on our journey, and nature hides new wonders at every step. During the day, participants can learn about the rich wildlife of the forest, medicinal herbs and wild plants, as well as the basics of mushroom identification and collection.

The tour guides conduct the program in two languages, Hungarian and English.

The tour is led by Anna Werlein, biologist and mushroom inspector. Anna introduces the mushrooms and medicinal plants of the area, explaining how to identify and collect them, as well as their traditional and modern uses. Participants can safely try their hand at mushroom picking under professional guidance, while learning about the surrounding ecosystem.

Topics covered during the tour:

the rich wildlife and natural resources of the forest
learning about medicinal herbs and wild plants
introduction to mushrooms and hands-on mushroom picking

At the end of the tour, participants will enjoy a hearty lunch made from local ingredients at the Faluvégi Bistro, and they can take home the edible mushrooms they have collected.

After lunch, the program will be led by Bettina Heincz, a landscape architect and basket weaver from Kóspallag. Bettina has been making baskets for the Nagymaros Market and teaching basket weaving courses for nine years. Participants can try their hand at the basics of basket weaving, making simple baskets from natural materials, while learning about the history of the landscape and local culture. This creative, artisanal activity provides an opportunity to slow down, concentrate, and experience a direct connection with natural materials.

Program fee:

28 000 HUF / person (VAT included)

The aim of the project is to offer experience-based programs that build on local natural and cultural values and provide visitors with direct experience, active participation, and a sustainable approach.
