The village is situated in the south-western corner of Somogy country and Hungary, approximately halfway between Csurgó and Nagykanizsa. It is an interesting fact that the international railway border station of Gyékényes is situated in the centre of the village. The village has been lobbying to build a border station on road for several decades and this aim is approved and supported by Croatia, too. It is a member of one of the most disadvantageous small regions with the centre in Csurgó. Full infrastructure was established in the village by 2005. This fact and the beautiful natural values make the village suitable for more dynamic development and investment, which can create jobs for the locals.
