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 national road No. 16 with the A1 motorway - the main transport axis connecting the north of Poland with the central and southern regions. The region is also crossed by national road No. 7, connecting among others, Kraków and Warsaw with Gdańsk. Thanks to the natural conditions (33% of the region's area is covered by forests and 5.7% by water reservoirs), the region is extremely attractive in terms of nature, which is reflected in the economic sphere. The location and natural values are conducive to,among others, the development of the agri-food sector, wood and tourism, including medical and business tourism.
