A mushroom-foraging and culinary experience with Bojan and Anja
Among the scents of the forest and mushrooms
Mushroom Foraging and Culinary Experience with Bojan and Anja
Set out on a unique mushroom-foraging and culinary adventure, where Bojan and Anja – a father and daughter from Bovec, passionate nature enthusiasts and experienced mushroom identifiers – guide you through the magical world of mushrooms.
The experience begins with a homemade breakfast in the garden of Bovška kuhn’ca, giving you the energy you need for a walk through the surrounding forests. During the stroll, you will explore the diversity of mushrooms, learn about their characteristics, and gather some edible treasures together. Upon returning, you’ll be shown how to clean, store, and prepare mushrooms, and then, together with your hosts, you will create delicious dishes to enjoy at the end.
The experience takes place every Tuesday from June to September at 8:30 AM, and in October and November by prior arrangement.
Advance reservation is required.

Bojan and Anja are locals from Bovec who have been exploring the world of mushrooms for many years and are happy to share their knowledge. With them, you will learn how to recognize edible mushrooms, which species most commonly grow in the forests around Bovec, and what you should pay special attention to when foraging. As your expert companions, they ensure a pleasant, safe, and relaxed forest experience.
As the holder of the highest title of the Mycological Association of Slovenia – determinator mentor – Bojan ensures that every step in the forest is informative and safe. Anja recently earned the title determinator consultant, which nicely complements the family’s expertise and tradition.
