Salgotarjan

The terrain around Salgótarján is a basin of wooded volcanic hills in Hungary’s Northern Mountains, which has shaped both the city’s layout and its industrial past. The Tarján stream runs through this former coal-mining and ironmaking centre, whose rapid growth in the 19th and 20th centuries made it an important town in Nógrád County. Above the Salgóbánya district stand the ruins of Salgó Castle, a medieval fortress set on a basalt hill. The nearby Medves Plateau continues the area’s distinctive volcanic terrain and forms part of the Hungarian-Slovak borderland.
