podkarpackie

The Podkarpackie voivodship lies in the south-eastern corner of Poland. There are great differences in the levels of the land across the region and rare types of flora and fauna which are uncommon in other regions, can be found here. Due to its uniqueness, Podkarpacie is one of the most attractive voivodships for tourism. The Sandomierz Basin, the Lower Beskidy and the Bieszczady – are three geographical districts of Podkarpacie, in which well located agro-tourist and tourist centres attract people to come and stay throughout the year. The Podkarpacie region is renowned for its rich mining and mineral deposits: i.e. sulphur, crude oil, natural gas, gypsum, sandstone and lime, extracted daily from modern mines. Apart from the natural development of industrial sectors based on the region’s natural deposits: the food industry, pharmaceuticals, aviation and IT are all well developed.

The Podkarpackie voivodship is a Polish region that is dynamically expanding its industry and tourism.
