Light experience trail 'Machina Lumina'

The new light experience walk ‘MACHINA LUMINA’ revolves around a mysterious, imaginary machine where light is a precious product that is created step by step. In this exciting light walk of approximately 3.5 kilometers, visitors enter an imaginative world where light is created according to a fascinating production process: with ingredients, techniques, intermediate steps, and final forms. Through ten light installations, visitors follow the production process of light, from its origin to its most impressive properties and manifestations. You see how color, speed, and waves are created and how light is scattered into the world from the Machina.
Along the way, visitors become not only spectators, but also co-creators: in various installations, they set the light in motion themselves, generate waves, or bring invisible light to life.
