Komárom-Esztergom County

Komárom-Esztergom is an administrative county in Central Transdanubia that stretches southward from the Danube River. It combines industrial zones with rural farmland and multiple towns serving local communities.

The county formed in 1950 through the merger of two formerly separate regions, which explains its dual name. After World War I, northern areas were transferred to neighboring territories.

The population includes Hungarian majority with German, Roma, and Slovak communities, while Roman Catholic and Calvinist denominations represent the main religious groups.

Tatabánya serves as the main administrative hub and sits at the intersection of major transport routes. Visitors can find accommodations and services concentrated in the larger towns distributed across the area.

The area hosts major cement factories and limestone quarries that have shaped the local economy for generations. These mining and production facilities take advantage of natural deposits found along the river corridor.
