Ozd

Ózd is best known in northern Hungary for the iron and steel industry that shaped the town for more than a century. Set amid the undulating, partly wooded terrain of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, it lies northwest of the Bükk Mountains, far from the level horizons associated with much of the Great Plain. Ironworks began operating here in 1847, and the surviving factory district still gives Ózd a distinctly industrial identity. The former power station, now home to the Digitális Erőmű cultural centre, reflects efforts to reuse this legacy. Workers’ housing and industrial structures trace the growth of a settlement built around metallurgy. Move on to other webcams in northern Hungary to compare landscapes and settings around Ózd.
