Rántás is a small village located in northern Hungary, within the administrative boundaries of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county. The settlement lies on the western slopes of the White Carpathians and is part of the historical region known as the Eastern Alps area of Hungary. Its approximate location is at 48°29′N latitude and 21°30′E longitude, placing it roughly 50 kilometres west of the county seat, Kazincbarcika, and about 25 kilometres south of the city of Miskolc.

The earliest surviving documentation references Rántás in the 12th century, when it was first mentioned in a royal charter. Over the centuries, the village has experienced the influences of various ruling families and the shifting borders of the Kingdom of Hungary. A wooden church, dedicated to Saint Michael, was constructed in the 18th century and remains a key landmark. In the 20th century, the village was affected by the Turkish wars, the Great Fire of 1848, and the devastation of both World Wars, which altered its demographic composition.

Economically, Rántás remains largely agricultural, with small-scale crop production and livestock farming making up the primary sources of income. In recent years, tourism boosted the local economy through visits to the surrounding national parks and heritage sites. The village also hosts an annual cultural festival celebrating regional folk music and traditional crafts.

Rántás had a population of roughly 400 residents according to the latest national census. The community is predominantly Hungarian, with a participation in primary and secondary education provided by a local school serving the surrounding rural area. Access to Rántás is facilitated by local road networks connecting to the main highway between Miskolc and Kazincbarcika; the nearest railway station lies in the nearby town of Kazincbarcika, providing links to Budapest and other major cities.
