Tatabanya

Among the cities of Transdanubia, Tatabánya stands out for its coal-mining heritage beneath the Gerecse Hills. The city developed from four neighbouring settlements and became a major Hungarian mining centre in the 20th century, a past documented at the Hungarian Mining and Industrial Museum. Above town, the Turul Monument on Kő-hegy is a defining local landmark, while nearby Szelim Cave forms part of the limestone terrain at the edge of the Gerecse. Tatabánya also sits on the main transport corridor between Budapest and Vienna, giving this former industrial centre an active regional role.
