December 11-12 2023, city of Ogulin, Croatia
The hotel is located in the centre of Ogulin, the centre of continental Croatia with the tourist area of Plitvice Lakes on the east, the wooded Gorski Kotar on the west, and the Northern Adriatic on the south.
Above Ogulin is the mountain Klek, which is 1,182 m high. It is one of the most attractive and popular mountaineering destinations in Croatia, topped by a 200 m high rocky head that is the cradle of Croatian mountaineering and alpinism. Klek has always spurred people’s imagination, so the legend of the witches of Klek was created. According to the legend, during stormy nights, witches, fairies, and elves from all over the world gather on Klek around midnight.
The hotel is located next to the old Frankopan castle from the 16th century built by the noble family Frankopan. Opposite the hotel, you can find Đula’s abyss, a hydrogeological monument of nature, where the river Dobra disappears under rocky cliffs in the enormous chasm in the city centre. The view from the cliff leaves many tourists breathless. Đula’s abyss, together with the Medvednica cave, creates the longest speleological object in Croatia. The name of the abyss is related to the legend of the girl Đula or Zulejka, who fell into the abyss because of unrequited love.

There are no conference fees. You will only pay the full board, which includes:
The possible accommodation arrangements are:
The accommodation options are limited in number (there are 20 rooms in the hotel itself), and are provided on a first come first serve basis. Those who book later will be accommodated in the apartments nearby, which will be allocated by hotel staff.
Christmas Biophysics Workshop 2023 is being organized by Ida Delač and Tomislav Vuletić, Institute of physics, Zagreb
The workshop series was initiated in 2006 by Silvia Tomić (Zagreb) and Rudolf Podgornik (Ljubljana)
