Municipality of Lendava

The Municipality of Lendava is an administrative area in northeastern Slovenia that borders Hungary. It contains residential neighborhoods and farmland connected by roads that link to local centers and communities across the border.

The area was part of the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918, when it joined the newly created State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. This transition reshaped the region's political and administrative structures.

The area shows its multicultural character through bilingual street signs and public services available in both Slovenian and Hungarian languages. This linguistic mix shapes how people interact with their surroundings every day.

The area is accessible by road and sits near the Hungarian border with direct connections to neighboring places. Visitors should know this is a smaller municipality with basic facilities typical of rural communities in the region.

The location sits where three different language regions meet: Slovenian, Hungarian, and German, visible in the area's multiple historical place names. This linguistic past makes it a fascinating example of how borders in Central Europe created mixed communities.
