You have the choice: 2-hour tour: Experience the world of mushrooms with all your senses – from the mycelium to the harvest. Smell, touch, taste included. Ideal for explorers with little time.

Both formats offer exciting insights, real aha moments, and of course: fresh mushrooms straight from the farm.
