Hungarian border barrier

The steel and concrete barrier extends 175 kilometers along the southern border of Hungary, featuring four-meter-high fencing with razor wire on top.

Construction of the Hungarian border barrier began in 2015 in response to increased migration flows through the Balkan route into the European Union.

The barrier represents the physical manifestation of Hungary's border control policies, marking a distinct approach to migration management within the European Union.

Multiple checkpoints along the barrier allow authorities to process legal border crossings while monitoring unauthorized entry attempts through surveillance systems.

The barrier construction required 650 billion forints of investment and includes NATO-grade wire mesh combined with reinforced barbwire fencing technology.
