Croatia–Hungary border

The border between Croatia and Hungary starts in the North at the tripoint with Slovenia near Muraszemenye and continues southeastward along the Mur river to the confluence with the Drava river. It then continues along the Drava, departing northward from that river thrice, first near the town of Gola, then at the village of Križnica, where the border deviates into the Rinya river until rejoining the Drava, and finally at the village of Torjanci, where the border departs northeastward until it reaches the tripoint with Serbia at the Danube river, although the exact location of the tripoint is subject to the Croatia–Serbia border dispute. The border is roughly 329 km (204 mi) long.

The border was created in its current shape after World War I. Prior to 1919, Međimurje County and the now Croatian part of Baranya (region) north of Osijek were part of was part of Hungary, meaning that the border between the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia and the Kingdom of Hungary ran along the Drava river for its entire course, except for the municipalities of Križnica and Gola, which were the part of Croatia-Slavonia even though north of the Drava river.
