Strong investment incentives for foreign companies in Poland make this
new European Union country increasingly attractive to individual investors. The
optimistic perspectives for accelerated economic growth, low labor costs, and
growing exports contribute to an even brighter future…
Poland rests at the very heart of continental Europe, and is part of the
trans European road network. Historically, Poland has been an area of conflict
because of flat terrain and the lack of natural barriers on the North European
Plain.
But you wouldn’t know it by the route I took…
In fact, the whole southern tip of Poland is crinkled with mountains. The
High Tatras… the haunting Carpathians. It makes for a stunning drive, if you
have six hours to kill.
The trip was long and draining from Teplice mad Metuji to
Krakow. I was stuffed on a bus winding through picturesque little towns for six
hours.
Yes, the vegetable gardens outside of every home are cute and quaint, but
six hours was more than enough. I have to say, though, the farmland on this
trip was really beautiful.
