Nämä elämykset antavat sinun kurkistaa aitoon saimaalaiseen elämänmenoon. Tule mukaan ja koe, miltä paikallinen onnellisuus tuntuu.
Pieni sieniretki Saimaalla
Experience Finnish forest and join us for a relaxed mushroom foraging adventure! Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned forager, or simply curious about mushrooms and Finnish nature, we warmly welcome you on this easy-access and enjoyable outing. This adventure takes place in the forests near us, where we are familiar with good mushroom spots.
During the trip, we will focus on identifying and collecting a few common edible mushrooms while immersing ourselves in the beauty of nature. The goal is to fill our baskets while learning about the distinguishing features of these mushrooms and discovering delicious recipes you can make at home. As a takeaway, you’ll receive a selection of mushroom recipes via email.
For an added treat, you can order hand crafted local food lunch to enjoy during the trip. All you need to bring is a good mood and ‘mushroom-eyeglasses’ (don’t worry if you don’t have them yet, we will find them during the trip), something to drink, weather-appropriate clothing, and footwear suitable for walking in the forest. We will provide you a mushroom basket and knife if you don’t have your own.
A light rain won’t stop us, but if the weather turns bad, the trip will be canceled or rescheduled.
