Břeclav railway station

Břeclav railway station is an important international railway junction in the Czech Republic, located in the town of Břeclav in South Moravia, close to the borders with Austria and Slovakia.

The station opened 6 June 1839 as Lundenburger Bahnhof on the North railway, the first locomotive-hauled railway in Austria-Hungary. After the breakup of Austria-Hungary it became a border crossing checkpoint between Austria and Czechoslovakia. Since the Czech Republic joined the Schengen area, border checks are no longer in operation. Břeclav is the first stop across the Czech border from Austria, the next station across on Austrian territory being Bernhardsthal station. It is the second station on Czech territory after crossing the border from Slovakia after Lanžhot.
