This small town above the river Mirna, near Motovun, is hidden from many tourist visits and has retained its private charm which you will recognize as soon as you arrive. The meadows are characterized by a rare and expensive mushroom called white truffle, which you can try to find yourself in the nearby Motovun forest with experienced guides and search dogs. Namely, when it comes to truffles, one of the largest truffles ever harvested in the world, weighing about 1.31 kg, grew right here in the nearby Motovun forest. It was found by the local caterer Giancarlo Zigante and his dog Diana on November 2, 1999, not far from Buje, and was included in the famous Guinness Book of Records as the largest truffle ever found in the world. they try themselves in search of this delicacy.Cyclists also like to pass through this Meadows, as soon as the settlement with the old buildings is finished, a beautiful pine forest begins uphill to the observation platform for the whole valley. The road has been paved with ancient stone since Roman times. If you walk there, you can see whole stone paved cascades, small waterfalls and the ruins of entire villages abandoned in the 20th century.

I explored this forest with the help of guides and dogs. We went into the deep forest where we saw all kinds of birds and other wildlife. I watched the dog's chase squirrels. It was fun. I later went cycling to the town where I ate muffle delicacies.

I fell in love with the ancient surrounding and history of the town. The roads are paved with ancient roman stone, the ancient remains of the fortress also showcase great architecture. I enjoyed the bike ride here it was surreal

This hidden gem was the perfect spot to enjoy peace and tranquility. It was exciting to go for truffle hunting in Motovun Forest with experienced guides and trained dogs. The hosts cooked us the truffles we had hunted and they were delicious.

I was delighted to learn that this is the place where the largest truffle that is in the Guinness Book of Records was found. We enjoyed cycling through the meadows upto to the entire village. As we cycled through, we enjoyed the views of the pine forests and the small waterfalls and cascades around.

The rare and expensive mushroom growing in this location called the white truffle is quite dominant in the Motovun forest. i went on a search adventure with search parties and dogs and I loved the whole experience since I was able to locate one.

I learned about the local resident who discovered the first White truffle. His name was Caterer Giancarlo Zigante and his dog was Diana. the year was November 2nd, 1999. It was blissful learning about the history of the location
