Truffle Search Excursion in La Morra
Hikes begin with a welcome at a scenic spot in La Morra.
And then off down trails admiring nature that depending on the season offers unique scenery, flourishing in spring , intensely green in summer where the trees offer shelter from the summer heat to arrive at autumn with its symphony of colors.
Along the trail, the tale of the history of the truffle with grandfather's anecdotes to finally arrive at the " truffle ground," where the dog becomes the undisputed leader.
It is he whom you will have to follow trusting his nose up and down the forest paths in search of the precious tuber.
Impressive then to see the enthusiasm of the dog and the truffle hunter when the truffle is finally found, and the delicate work to extract it without damaging the nature of the underbrush and especially the precious truffle!
