Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship

The Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship is located in the north-eastern part of the country and is adjacent to the Russian Federation, thus constituting the external border of the European Union. The region of Warmia and Mazury is connected by the national road No. 16 with the A1 motorway - the main transport axis connecting the north of Poland with the central and southern regions. The national road No. 7 also runs through the region, connecting e.g. Krakow and Warsaw with Gdańsk. Due to natural conditions (33% of the region's area is covered by forests, and 5.7% of water reservoirs), the region is extremely attractive in terms of its natural environment, which is reflected in the economic sphere. Location and the natural environment favours, among other things, the development of the agri-food, wood and tourism sectors, including medical and business tourism.
