This forecast covers the three-day window from Wednesday 19 August to Friday 21 August 2026. Historically, the pre-holiday evening of 19 August sees a departure surge from Ukraine into Hungary, while the post-holiday return on 21 August is projected to produce the highest queues in the Hungary to Ukraine direction. All projections in this article are based on ensemble modelling and remain subject to real-time conditions. ## Ukraine ↔ Hungary ### Day-by-day projection (2026-08-19 – 2026-08-21) | Date | Direction | Checkpoint pair | Vehicle | Peak hours | Intensity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 19.08.2026 | Ukraine to Hungary | Berehove–Luzhanka | Passenger cars | 16:00–19:00 | Moderate | | 19.08.2026 | Hungary to Ukraine | Berehove–Luzhanka | Passenger cars | 08:00–11:00 | Light | | 20.08.2026 | Ukraine to Hungary | Berehove–Luzhanka | Passenger cars | 10:00–13:00 | High | | 20.08.2026 | Hungary to Ukraine | Berehove–Luzhanka | Passenger cars | 14:00–17:00 | Moderate | | 21.08.2026 | Ukraine to Hungary | Berehove–Luzhanka | Passenger cars | 09:00–12:00 | Light | | 21.08.2026 | Hungary to Ukraine | Berehove–Luzhanka | Passenger cars | 15:00–18:00 | High | ### Direction outlook The Ukraine to Hungary corridor is expected to see its busiest period on the morning of Thursday 20 August, with peak queues projected between 10:00–13:00 at the [Berehove–Luzhanka crossing](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_33). Outside this window, traffic intensity remains lighter, particularly on Wednesday 19 August before 14:00. Travellers planning to cover the [Luzhanka–Berehove distance](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_33) may find shorter wait times by crossing earlier in the day. The return flow from Hungary to Ukraine is forecast to peak on Friday 21 August, with the highest queues occurring between 15:00–18:00. This aligns with the typical post-holiday pattern, where travellers re-enter Ukraine after the long weekend. The [Ukraine–Hungary border](https://nakordoni.eu/de/stat/1/4/4) is projected to remain moderate on Thursday afternoon but may experience delays for those crossing later in the day. ## How to use this forecast Traffic intensity is projected to remain lighter outside the identified peak windows, particularly in the early mornings of each day. Drivers are advised to consult the [live Ukraine–Hungary crossing queues](https://nakordoni.eu/de/stat/1/4/4) before departure, as real-time conditions may vary. Planning routes to avoid the busiest hours can help reduce total travel time and fuel expenses. ## Useful tools - [European Holidays Calendar](https://nakordoni.eu/de/holidays) — see why specific dates produce queues - [Truck Traffic Bans Calendar](https://nakordoni.eu/de/for_truck_drivers/traffic_bans) — separate truck restrictions on holidays - [Car Drivers Portal](https://nakordoni.eu/de/for_car_drivers) — all car-side tools - [Trip Cost Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/de/tools/trip-cost-calculator) — estimate fuel, toll and total trip expenses - [Schengen 90/180 Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/de/tools/schengen-calculator) — check allowed days in the Schengen zone - [Currency Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/de/currency_calc) — UAH, HUF, EUR and more live rates - [Live Ukraine–Hungary crossing queues](https://nakordoni.eu/de/stat/1/4/4) Source: [nakordoni.eu — Holidays](https://nakordoni.eu/de/holidays) | Forecast engine: v2 (4-model ensemble) | Updated: 13.08.2026 ### Verwandte Grenzübergänge [Lushanka — Beregsurani](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_33) [Tschop (Theiß) — Záhony](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_27) [Wilok — Tiszabecs](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_35) [Dswinkowe — Lónya](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_29) [Kosyno — Barabás](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_31) [Groß-Palad — Nagyhódos](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_380) [Tschop (Theiß) — Záhony](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_28) [Lushanka — Beregsurani](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_225) [Dswinkowe — Lónya](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_30) [Kosyno — Barabás](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_32) [Lushanka — Beregsurani](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_34) [Wilok — Tiszabecs](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_36) [Groß-Palad — Nagyhódos](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_381) [Lushanka](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_178) [Tschop (Theiß) — Záhony](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_266) [Beregsurani — Lushanka](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_131) [Záhony — Tschop (Theiß)](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_125) [Tiszabecs — Wilok](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_133) [Lónya — Dswinkowe](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_127) [Barabás — Kosyno](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_129) [Nagyhódos — Groß-Palad](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_382) [Záhony — Tschop (Theiß)](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_126) [Beregsurani — Lushanka](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_226) [Lónya — Dswinkowe](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_128) [Barabás — Kosyno](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_130) [Beregsurani — Lushanka](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_132) [Tiszabecs — Wilok](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_134) [Nagyhódos — Groß-Palad](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_383) [Lushanka](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_179) [Záhony — Tschop (Theiß)](https://nakordoni.eu/de/id/id_267) Dieser Bericht wird automatisch aus unseren Monitoring-Daten erstellt; die Analyse wurde mithilfe künstlicher Intelligenz verfasst.
