  1. PODKARPACKIE PROVINCE

  2. Subcarpathian Voivodeship(Podkarpacie Province) is situated in the far south-east of POLAND The name derives from the region's location close to the Carpathian Mountains

  3. The population of the Podkarpackie is around 2 million 97 thousand, which constitutes 5.5% of the total Polish population. Only 45% of the Podkarpackie citizens live incities, which, compared with the global Polish figure of 61.8%, makes us the least urbanized province in the country.

  4. Subcarpathian Voivodeship is divided into 25 districts): 4 city districts (powiat grodzki) and 21 landdistricts (powiat ziemski). The largest districts in the Podkarpackie areRzeszów, Mielec, Dębica (134.000 inhabitants), JasłoJarosławStalowa Wola

  5. The most significant city in southeastern Poland is the Podkarpackie administrative capital – Rzeszów – economical, scientific and cultural center of the province. Rzeszów has a population of 171,330 inhabitants, as of 30.06.2008.  Rzeszów is served by an international airport, is a member of Eurocities, and is home to a number of large universities, company headquarters, and foreign consulates.

  6. The Podkarpackie is a special place on Earth. Special, because it was the frontier, which shaped its present image. The Podkarpackie province has always been located in the borderland. The rich history and centuries–old coexistence of different ethnic groups resulted in cultural qualities, incomparable with those in other regions of Poland, strengthened by the richness of the natural environment. Maybe this is why the Podkarpackie province is one the most attractive destinations for tourists from Poland and Europe.

  7. Castle Museum in Łańcut The Podkarpackie province, encompassing lands, which formerly were the property of the noted and influential Polish families, is proud of many of their magnificent castles and properties.

  8. Because the lands of the Podkarpackie province were situated close to the border, most constructions were defensive in character. This is why there are so many ruins of medieval castles, many in very picturesque locations. Especially worth visiting are the castle ruins in Odrzykoń by Krosno, praised by the Polish Moliere, Aleksander Fredro, in his famous “Zemsta” (“the Revenge”) comedy, referring to the ancient dispute over the walls of the castle. Ruins - Odrzykoń castle

  9. On the List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage, two material culture relics represent the Podkarpackie: The wooden gothic church in Haczów The church and presbytery complex in Blizne

  10. The jewels of the Podkarpackie tourism are certainly the Bieszczady Mountains, a European oasis of nature secondarily gone wild.

  11. Protected areas in Subcarpathian Voivodeship include two National Parksand 11 Landscape Parks.

  12. Solina Reservoir called “The Bieszczady Sea”, is also the largest reservoir in Poland, and it is especially popular among water tourists. The lake, surrounded by mountains, is famous for variable winds, and presents a great challenge for water sports lovers. No other reservoir in Poland is as challenging, and no other gives so much pleasure from sailing. Other major attractions are the magnificent landscapes surrounding the lake. The area of the lake is around 22 km2.

  13. Spas The great trumps of the Podkarpackie province, are – without doubt – the numerous mineral springs, discovered in 150 cities and towns, but only in four of those, in Horyniec–Zdrój, Iwonicz–Zdrój, Polańczyk Zdrój and Rymanów–Zdrój they are used to heal people. The resorts and spas, which base on mineral springs, offer complex and professional medical services. What is more, a recreation and holiday infrastructure was constructed around the health resorts, available for tourists and patients, giving them a chance to admire the magnificent nature, landscapes and culture, unique in Poland and abroad.

  14. Roads and airports Two international highways pass through thePodkarpackie province: E–40    from Germany through Wroclaw, Krakow and Rzeszów to Ukraine E–371  from Warsaw through Rzeszów to Slovakia
