Jelentős potenciális árvízi kockázatú területek (2024)
What this layer shows
Areas of potential significant flood risk from the third cycle of the Floods Directive (2024), as Hungary reported them to the European Environment Agency (floodplain compartments, small streams at risk, inland-water defence sections). They do not show depth or probability; use OVF's flood hazard maps for that.

Merestone asks this service live for the area on screen. Nothing is copied or stored beyond a short cache.
This layer is drawn from the European Environment Agency's annual return of what Hungary reports, not from a live service of the national body itself. A boundary changed this year appears here when the next return is published.

Planning constraints
Natura 2000; the national register of protected areas, the national ecological network and the relative inland excess water frequency (these three are waiting for permission); drinking-water protection areas, flood-risk areas and observed landslides. For a first screen of a plot.
Floods, inland water and water bodies
The flood hazard maps at three probabilities, the areas of potential significant flood risk and of significant past floods (2024), the water bodies and the drinking-water protection areas. Before building, buying or insuring.
