Truffle Hunting Tour! A unique experience that everyone should try! The tours are organized in the regions of Kumanovo, Staro Nagoricane, Kriva Palanka, and on Kozjak Mountain, specifically at the summit of Peren. Through beautiful forest areas, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the company of our local guide and his two trained dogs, Arthur and Ava, who belong to the renowned Italian Lagotto Romagnolo breed, known for being the best truffle hunters.

Anyone booking this tour should know that the uniqueness lies in walking in nature with the dogs searching ahead of you, but it’s important to understand that truffles are not always guaranteed. As the older generations say, "If truffles were easy to find, their price wouldn’t reach up to 600 euros per kilogram." Regardless of whether you are lucky enough to find a truffle, the destination and tasting of fresh truffles are always included in the tour.
