Several roads are impassible in Borsod county because of the flooding of the Sajó river, travel website Útinform reported on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, the Mura river began subsiding on Tuesday morning, but the Dráva in the south is still expected to peak.

According to calculations the river could reach the highest level ever gauged at Drávaszabolcs.

Flood protection preparations have been made along more than 350km of riverbanks in Hungary.

Residents are working continuously in municipalities located along the Mura.

Sandbags have been placed along the river since Sunday at Tótszerdahely and residents are pumping water out of their gardens and courtyards.
