Homeward stops along the Danube

2025. 12. 08.

It’s a warm summer evening, and you’re paddling your canoe along the small branch of the Danube near Rácalmás. Ahead, the old iron bridge spans the murky water—you can just make it through between the pillars. A sandbar lies a little further to the right, but finally, you reach a newly built homeward stop. Here, you can rest in peace, leave your boat safely, take a shower, and even cook a good meal. This experience...

2025. 12. 05.

With this goal in mind, Gyöngyös’ Bugát Pál Hospital, thanks to EU funding, launched a project to raise the professional standards of its outpatient care services. The hospital has...

New opportunities for the little ones – a mini nursery opens in Sümegprága

Triploid grass carp in high-tech fishponds

2025. 11. 26.

As casual, perhaps slightly romantic observers, we often picture fish farming as a nature-based activity: quiet ponds, calm water, and fish swimming peacefully below the surface. In reality, modern aquaculture is far more complex. It is a high-level production industry governed by strict food-safety, technological, and business standards. Aranyponty Zrt. (in English: Golden Carp Ltd.) completed an EU-funded HFOP project at its Rétimajor site. The company had long been operating both extensive and intensive fish-farming...

A cleaner future for Madaras and Katymár

2025. 11. 21.

For many decades, residents of Madaras and Katymár had to deal with a serious problem: there was no sewer system or working wastewater treatment plant. Finding a long-term solution to wastewater and environmental issues was essential. Thanks to EU funding, this has now become possible. Before the project, households managed their wastewater with individual tanks and soakaways. These systems could no longer cope with growing needs. Groundwater was at risk of pollution, the environment was...
