What does the film park in Ózd offer?
The Nemzeti Filmtörténeti Élménypark explores the past 100 years of Hungarian filmmaking. Its exhibits are presented interactively: film clips, technical equipment and iconic figures help visitors engage with the subject. The Filmtörtörténeti Path is a separate part of the park and brings this film history to life.
A distinctive technical effect is also part of the experience described: a war background is added using green-screen technology for every departure at the Nemzeti Filmtörténeti Élménypark. Those interested in film history will find not only a historical overview here, but also a range of media elements through which to explore the subject.
What water-based activities are available?
The municipal thermarium and teaching pool combines indoor pools with wellness facilities, including a sauna and whirlpool. The facility has welcomed visitors since 2 September 2024. Its focus is clear: swimming and the wellness facilities mentioned above.
The Ózdi horgásztó offers something different. It has a walking path and is set up for fishing and camping, adding lakeside activities to the options available. If you are deciding between a visit to the thermarium and time at the horgásztó, the main difference is the focus on indoor pools and wellness at the former, and walking, fishing and camping at the latter.
What can you do around cycling and animals?
Ózd’s cycling network is complete. This information is especially relevant if cycling is among your travel interests. Specific route lengths or individual routes are not described here, so the network’s completion itself is the guide for choosing.
At Drótos Állatsimogató, children and adults can get to know friendly animals up close. The enclosures are arranged around a central rest area, where benches and tables give visitors a place to watch the animals. This combines meeting the animals with the opportunity to spend time in the rest area and observe them from there.
Where can you learn about Ózd’s industrial history?
The Ózdi Muzeális Gyűjtemény and Gyártörténeti Emlékpark preserve and present Ózd’s industrial past. Their focus is not only industrial history itself, but also the lives of the people who worked there. This offers a different perspective on the city from the Nemzeti Filmtörténeti Élménypark: here, working life and the industrial past take centre stage, while the latter focuses on the history of Hungarian filmmaking.
