The rain has stopped, the forest smells fresh, and between moss and needles, the first chanterelles are already appearing. To make sure your mushroom hunt is not only successful but also legal, here’s everything you need to know.
Permit
Before heading out, you need a paid permit and a valid ID card. The permit costs €10.00 per person per day and can be collected and paid directly at the Ratschings tourist office. Alternatively, you can easily purchase the permit online.
No additional permit is required if you are collecting in your home municipality or on your own property. In these cases, it’s enough to show your ID.
