Nature Experiences in September
Time for Mushroom Hunting!
This late summer, head into the forests of the Mondsee region in search of the highly prized wild mushrooms. We kindly ask that you respect the natural environment, adhere to the harvest limit of 2 kg per person, and only pick mushrooms you can positively identify as edible. For your own safety, we strongly recommend visiting a professional mushroom identification service if you are ever unsure.
