• Lozen Mountain - Embark on a journey through the ancient Bulgarian forest with Dobrin, a mycologist, forager, and one of Bulgaria’s most knowledgeable naturalists. Spend an entire day uncovering the forest’s hidden treasures, including wild mushrooms, medicinal herbs, edible plants, orchids, and fungi that are new to you. Conclude the adventure by enjoying a meal in the forest.

Dobrin prepares a gourmet lunch using the foraged ingredients right on site. The menu features polenta with wild mushrooms and homemade goat cheese, bread seasoned with his own herbs, and wild garlic pesto. The forest dictates the menu, ensuring each visit is unique.

The location varies with the seasons—Lozen Mountain in autumn for the peak mushroom season, and Vitosha in spring and summer for wildflowers and herbs. Many guests return to experience both.

Solo travelers are warmly welcomed, and small groups are limited to a maximum of 8 people. Hotel pickup and return are included. This experience is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with guests ranging from 8 to 75 years old having joined Dobrin in the forest.
