Historical records preserved the memory of Miklós zrínyi’s deed (nikola zrinski) when in 1662, he connected the River Mura with the Kanizsa Creek via a ditch. The military engineer Holst has illustrated these ditches, but it is also visible that two natural water catchment areas were also incorporated into the system. When examining the gis (geographical information system) materials of the area, we can recognize the remains of the zrínyi ditch in a ditch still existing at Kollátszeg. even today, it still connects the river and the creek, and traverses two adjacent backwaters, of which the one on the east is more recognizable from the street system of the settlement.The current lines of the ditch on the western side do not match with those drawn by the military engineer Holst, so with field research we have proven that this section of the zrínyi ditch has been filled by now, but it still has recognizable features both on the ground and in the micro terrain of the area too.The significance of this research is the fact that the ditch is only the second work – after novi zrin – inside Hungary that is directly connected to Miklós zrínyi (nikola zrinski). This construction also proves that zrínyi (zrinski) was far ahead of his time even in this field. He recognized and utilized on a high level the potential of the terrain, and this way he increased the efficiency of defence when protecting his beloved country.
