History & geography

Geography

The commune is located in the eastern part of the county, in the northeastern corner of the Burzenland. It is situated on the left bank of the Olt River, which mostly follows the border with Covasna County. The Ghimbășel River flows through Bod; originally it discharged directly into the Olt, but much of its flow has been diverted into the Bârsa River (another tributary of the Olt), near Colonia Bod.
