The Hungary–Romania border is the state border between Hungary and Romania. It was established in 1920 by an international commission (the "Lord Commission") presided over by geographers including Emmanuel de Martonne and Robert Ficheux,[1] and historians Robert William Seton-Watson and Ernest Denis.[2] The border was formalised by the Treaty of Trianon which was signed on 4 June 1920.
The border is 448 km (278 mi) long, demarcated by pillars and approximately 20 km (12 mi) of the Maros River. There are no known disputes.
The Hungary–Romania border is an internal border of the European Union. However, as of 2024, Romania is not a part of the Schengen Area.
Geography
The Hungarian–Romanian border begins at a tripoint located in the historical region of the Banat, 15 km (9.3 mi) south-east of the Hungarian town of Szeged, where the border between Hungary and Serbia intersects the land border between Romania and Serbia. It generally runs south-south-westwards/north-north-eastwards across the Pannonian Basin to another tripoint located on the Tur river, 16 km (9.9 mi) north of the Romanian town of Satu Mare, where the Hungarian-Ukrainian border intersects the land border between Romania and Ukraine.
