Nagykolónia

Few settlements in Transdanubia have a history as closely tied to Hungary’s post-war alumina industry as Nagykolónia. This residential part of Almásfüzitő stands close to the Danube, on the Hungarian bank opposite Slovakia, where the river has long shaped transport and settlement. Its name reflects its origins as a planned industrial colony connected with the Almásfüzitő alumina works, which began operating in 1950. Former factory grounds and associated red-mud reservoirs remain a conspicuous element of the local landscape, giving this stretch of the Danube a distinctly industrial character.
