Border between Croatia and Hungary
The border between Croatia and Hungary separates the territory of the Republic of Croatia from Hungary . Its length is given as 329 km. The boundary mainly follows the historical course of the rivers Drau (Drava) and Mur (Mura).
Borderline
The common state border begins in the east at the exit of the Danube from Hungary (according to the disputed Croatian view there is also a 6 km wide section (Karapanđža) east of the Danube to Croatia, see border between Croatia and Serbia ). To the west of the Danube, it initially follows various backwaters of this river and reaches the Hungarian main road 56-os főút at Udvar , which also crosses the border here as European route 73 and continues in Croatia as Državna cesta D7. The border then follows the D7 west of the D7 at a distance of around one to two kilometers and crosses the Villány - Beli Manastir railway line . Further to the west it leaves the village of Luč on the Croatian and Illocska on the Hungarian side and allows a road (on the Croatian side no. 211) to pass the border between the Hungarian Beremend and the Croatian Baranjsko Petrovo Selo. North of the Croatian Podgajci Podravski it reaches the Drava, the historical course of which (which does not quite correspond to the current course) it follows upstream; while remaining Donji Miholjac (with border crossing, in Hungary at the főút 58-as , in Croatia at the državna cesta D53), Moslavina Podravska and Noskovci on the Croatian side. The next larger Hungarian city is Barcs with a crossing of the European route 661 (on the Hungarian side 68-as főút , which meets here with the 6-os főút , on the Croatian Državna cesta D5). To the west, the border takes a strongly meandering course until it moves west of the Hungarian Bélavár away from the Drava and runs north of the river. The municipality of Gola north of the Drava with a road crossing into the Hungarian Berzence belongs to Croatia . The railway line leading to the Gyékényes railway junction near Zákány always remains on Hungarian territory. At Zákány there is a railway crossing on the main line from Budapest to Zagreb . Here the border reaches the Drava again, the course of which it follows to the confluence of the Mur (Mura). The Nagykanizsa - Čakovec railway crosses the border between Murakeresztúr (Hungary) and Kotoriba (Croatia), and the motorway from Budapest to Zagreb at Letenye in Hungary (on the Hungarian side Autópálya M7 , on the Croatian Autocesta A4 , also European route 65 and European route 71 ). South of the Hungarian Muraszemenye, the Croatian-Hungarian border ends at the triangle with Slovenia at the mouth of the Ledava (Hungarian Lendva, German Limbach), but the course of the border up to the mouth of the Kerka coming from the Hungarian Lenti is unclear, with the Slovenian-Croatian-Hungarian According to Slovenian information, the triangle of three countries is located about 300 meters northwest of the confluence with the Mur, and according to Hungarian information about 200 meters southeast of the confluence of the Ledava – Kerka.
history
During the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the border between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia , which belonged to Hungary as a neighboring country , ran along the Drava, as far as today's Croatia is concerned. With the Treaty of Trianon , the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes , which Croatia joined in December 1918, received all of Croatia with the exception of the parts of the Adriatic coast and Istria annexed by Italy . The Međimurje County , which had previously belonged to core Hungary , also came to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes on January 9, 1919. Međimurje was annexed by Hungary in 1941. After the Second World War , the border from 1920 was restored and remained unchanged even after the dissolution of Yugoslavia. It became an internal EU border when Croatia joined the European Union on July 1, 2013 , but is still the external border of the Schengen area . In the refugee crisis in Europe from 2015 onwards , Hungary set up border facilities on the border with Serbia and Croatia from June 2015 .
