Off to the treasure hunt in the Leechwald! Together with specially trained truffle dogs, we go in search of hidden treasures in the forest floor. We meet in front of the Waldschule Graz and go on an exciting and informative truffle hunt during a leisurely walk through the forest. Afterwards you can savour a dish with the truffles you have found.
In the city forests of Graz, various species of truffle mushrooms growing underground are found by means of the fine noses of dogs. Not only coveted gourmet truffles but also inedible truffles are an expression of the biodiversity in ecologically maintained forest stands.
