Preserving the past, building for the future – Csemegi Károly Library in Csongrád renovated with EU funding

Historic walls, modern solutions. Perhaps that’s the simplest way to describe the transformation of the Csemegi Károly Library in Csongrád. The locally protected building has kept its original character while taking a major step forward in energy efficiency. Better insulation, modern windows and doors, solar panels and a greener, more welcoming courtyard have all helped make the library more sustainable and pleasant to visit. Libraries in smaller towns continue to play an important role in

A street that invites you to slow down

I was only supposed to be passing through. After a meeting, I had an hour and a half to spare before my train, and my plan was simple. Find somewhere to sit, catch up on the news on my phone, and head to the station. The last time I had been to Kiskunfélegyháza was twenty years ago, and even then, I had only stopped to change trains. I turned onto Kossuth Lajos Street almost by

Cycling towards the Kis-Balaton

The Kis-Balaton region is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, get on a bike and take in the landscape along the way. For visitors, cycling is one of the most enjoyable ways to explore the area. For local residents, though, it is much more than a leisure activity. A bicycle can also be a practical way to get from one village to another in everyday life. That is exactly what the

Birdsong replaces the squeak of mine carts

The idea was ultimately a simple one: to give visitors more reasons to stay in Salgótarján rather than simply pass through. The renewed visitor area in Eresztvény adds another chapter to that story — one filled with birdsong. For many decades, Salgótarján’s history was shaped by coal and industry. Mining and heavy industry defined the city’s economy, everyday life and appearance. After the political transition of the early 1990s, however, factories and industrial plants closed

Where the bells still ring at eleven

There is a town at the foot of the Alps where history comes alive far beyond museum walls. A walk along the cobbled streets, a glance up at the castle walls or the sound of bells ringing at eleven in the morning is enough to remind visitors that the past is still very much part of everyday life here. For anyone who has not guessed the town yet, the answer is Kőszeg. Few places in

Dunaszentpál joins the cycling network

Anyone familiar with the road leading to Dunaszentpál knows that cycling there used to be far from comfortable. Although traffic is relatively light, the road is narrow and its surface was in poor condition, making it difficult and unsafe for cyclists, especially after dark. That has now changed with the construction of a separate, two-way cycle path. Dunaszentpál is a small cul-de-sac village surrounded by the Mosoni-Duna, so most people travelling there are local residents.

Energy from below in Lenti

Deep beneath our feet, the Earth is simmering. Heat from the planet’s ancient core combines with heat generated by radioactive decay. The deeper we go, the hotter it gets: temperatures rise by roughly 30 degrees Celsius with every kilometre of depth. If we can bring this virtually inexhaustible heat to the surface, even the coldest winter days become much easier to face. This valuable source of energy had been lying beneath Lenti all along. Thermal
