Ózd offers several distinct ways to explore the city: interactive Hungarian film history, industrial heritage, activities at Ózdi horgásztó, and a municipal thermal bath. Film history and industrial heritage offer different cultural perspectives; the lake and cycling network provide other activity options. This makes it easy to tailor your choices to the kind of discovery that matters to your trip.
Hungarian Film History at the Experience Park
At the Nemzeti Filmtörténeti Élménypark, the Film History Trail presents the past 100 years of Hungarian filmmaking. Film clips, technical equipment, and iconic figures bring the subject to life. During every departure at the Nemzeti Filmtörténeti Élménypark, a wartime backdrop is added using green-screen technology. If this particular effect is important to your visit, check the current operating details in advance.
Thermal Bath, Lake, and Cycling Network
On September 2, 2024, Ózd’s municipal thermal bath and teaching pool began welcoming visitors. The facility includes indoor pools as well as wellness amenities such as a sauna and whirlpool. Swimming and wellness offer two distinct reasons to include the bath in your plans. Before visiting, check the latest visitor information before making firm plans.
Ózdi horgásztó is set up for fishing and camping and has a walking path. Walking is a different way to enjoy the lake than fishing or camping. In addition, Ózd’s cycling network has been completed. If you’d like to include cycling among your activities, you can consider this municipal network as a separate planning option; for specific rides, separate route planning is recommended.
Animal Encounters and Industrial Heritage
At Drótos Állatsimogató, children and adults can get to know friendly animals up close. The enclosures are arranged around a central rest area with benches and tables, from which visitors can observe the animals. The layout combines opportunities to observe the animals with a central place to take a break. Check the current visitor rules before your visit.
The Ózdi Muzeális Gyűjtemény and Gyártörténeti Emlékpark preserve and interpret Ózd’s industrial past and the lives of the people who worked there. Together with the Filmtörténeti Élménypark, they offer a clear cultural comparison: the latter focuses on Hungarian film history and presents it interactively, while the collection and memorial park turn the focus to Ózd’s industrial history and working life.
