Hengermalom 2025

Valyo’s latest project, the revival of Hengermalom, a former roller mill, continues in 2025.

By the end of last year, […]
Bert promenade

Between Hengermalom and Árasztó-part there’s an abandoned trail on the coast of the Danube, which is only approachable adventurously. We call it – after the BERT effluent – Bert promenade. The coast of the Danube in front of Hengermalom we call Hengerpart. We think it’s important that this area get into the bloodflow of the […]

Hupli furniture

Seating areas – HUPLI furniture family Slope benches and Grill HUPLI furniture is a solution for the public use of sloping waterfront dyke structures. The stepped embankments are well suited as seating areas and provide an opportunity to spend time there, but the 25-35 degree sloped flood protection structure made of stone makes it difficult […]
Árasztó-part 2024

This year, for the fourth consecutive season, the Árasztó-part on the Danube bank in Albertfalva welcomed those looking to relax with two new sunshades.
