About this Tour

Together we go on an exciting mushroom hunt. All around, nature shines in rich colors and attracts visitors with its unique diversity. Each season offers its own special types of mushrooms, so no two migrations are the same.

The mushrooms of the warm months are a real treasure chest: From witch bolets to chanterelles to porcini mushrooms — there is always something new to discover. This requires a watchful eye and sharp senses. Don't worry if you're still a beginner: Our experienced Wildschytz guides will provide you with advice and assistance and make mushroom hunting an unforgettable experience.

With a bit of luck, we'll discover delicious mushrooms such as curly hen, chestnuts and parasol in the middle of the lively forest. But it's about more than finding mushrooms. It is also an invitation to get to know nature anew, discover its treasures and develop a sense of connection with our environment.

A mushroom hike near Wildschytz is not a classic mushroom excursion, but a holistic nature experience. In addition to the exciting mushroom hunt, we also take breaks for relaxing moments and educational conversations. You will learn more about the forest ecosystem, its inhabitants and the important role that fungi play in this system.

Take the opportunity to break away from everyday life and dive into the fascinating world of the forest with us. Whether alone, with friends or the whole family — everyone is welcome.

Steps of the tour

The time has finally come: The day of your mushroom hike is on. We meet ten minutes before the start at the agreed meeting point. Get to know the other participants before we set off to the forest on time. After a short round of introductions, it's time to start together.

There is a lot to discover on the hike. At several stations, you will search for yourself using the newly acquired knowledge. We will discuss the findings together in a group.

In the end, we look back on the hike together before you go your own ways again — we look forward to seeing you again one day.
