Why it is worth your time
Down on the valley floor spreads the Motovun forest, a damp oak woodland where some of the world's finest white truffles hide among the roots. Join a local hunter and a sharp-nosed dog and follow them off the path into the trees. The reward is the moment the dog freezes, digs, and unearths a knobbly treasure worth its weight in gold.
