Nataša Harisch - UV experience researcher

Nataša Harisch, a pharmaceutical technologist and researcher of the mysterious worlds of mycelium, will take you on a UV experience together with a guide. Her work combines science, nature, and creativity. Her love of the forest inspired her to create Gobja potka, a night-time adventure where visitors use UV lights to discover the mysterious world of glowing fungi, forest scents and microscopic networks of life. The project, which combines science and the magic of nature, received an award at the tourism start-up weekend in 2025.
