  2. Mazovia Province covers an area of 35,597 square kilometers and is the largest administrative region of the country. Its area accounts for 11.4% of Poland's territory.

  3. From the west Mazovia Province borders on Kujawsko-Pomorskie and Łódzkie Provinces; from the north on Warmińsko-Mazurskie; from the east on Podlaskie and Lubelskie, and from the south - on Świętokrzyskie Province.

  4. The location on the Mazovia Lowland, whose main water network is established by the Vistula River along with its tributaries the Pilica, Bug and Narew, is conducive to the development of farming, which is why as much as 2.4 million hectares in Mazovia Province falls to farmland. On the national scale it accounts for 12.9% of the area used for agriculture. Primarily potatoes and cereal are cultivated. Mazovia Province is also the largest fruit-growing region in the country; concentrating 28% of the whole acreage of Polish orchards. It means that every third fruit tree grows right here!

  5. Forests of Mazovia Province constitute an average of 22% of its area. The most wooded poviats (districts), where forests cover more than 30% of the total area include: Legionowo, Ostroleka, Otwock, Wyszków - located in the historical Biala, Lochowskie and Ceranowskie Forests, which are part of the On-the-Bug-River Landscape Park, as well as Przysusz and Szydlowiec poviats(districts).

  6. As regards technical infrastructure Mazovia Province does not differ from the country's average. The number of telephone subscribers, exceeding the average by 1.5 times, is an exception.
