Where nature and tourism go hand in hand

What does fresh bread have to do with a peaceful little lake? At first, it may seem like nothing. But for centuries, mills across Europe used millstones carved from a quiet hillside in the Zemplén Mountains, near Sárospatak. This special volcanic stone was once quarried there. When quarrying stopped, nature took over. Water filled the old quarry pit, creating one of Hungary’s most unique natural attractions: the Megyer Hill Tarn. The lake is a special

Where cycling became a real alternative

You take out your bike, hop on, and the journey begins. Cycling requires no driving licence and no fuel — just a little energy and an open mind.

Now, especially in larger towns, many people see cycling as risky, tiring,

Connecting Szombathely to tomorrow

Sometimes a city’s development is best reflected not in new buildings, but in investments that make everyday life easier.

In Szombathely, the comprehensive modernisation of transport infrastructure has brought significant progress. The city’s economic zones have become easier and faster to access for businesses, commuters and

A greener, more livable Sellye

That is exactly what happened in Sellye: the project titled Creating a More Livable, Beautiful and Greener Town in the Heart of Ormánság reshaped the townscape while also making everyday life more welcoming, safer, and more enjoyable for local residents. Implemented with EU

Where times and worlds meet: The Miskolc Gallery

Yet these two men, working independently in the same era, began collecting art from entirely different backgrounds and motivations. They could not have known how long their historical moment would last, what fate awaited their collections, or that decades later their works would become central to a museum development funded by the European Union. History took an unexpected
