Óbánya is located in the Mecsek mountain range in South Hungary, in Baranya County. It can be found North of the city of Pécs, which is known as the real Mediterranean city of Hungary. The Eastern part of Mecsek is the most beautiful because it is so “untouched”.

The village of Óbánya sits in one of the deep and narrow valleys of East-Mecsek called az Öreg-patak völgye [The valley of the Old Stream], and the town is known as the Hungarian Switzerland due to its undisturbed nature and beauty.
