Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Miskolc
Miskolc is the great industrial city of northern Hungary, wedged into a valley where the foothills of the Bükk mountains come down to the plain. For a century its blast furnaces and steelworks at Diósgyőr defined it, and when that industry shrank the city had to find another face. It has found a gentler one, with thermal baths, parks and cultural festivals, though the mood remains plain and working-class, with block-built estates and stout, friendly people.
