The valley of the Poprad river is going to experience a real renaissance. Two weeks ago we informed about building new bicycle roots and bridges by Poprad and connecting roads from the Poprad Valley to the international routes EuroVelo11, and now it turns out it is not the end of investments in the region.

16 railway stations that are located by the Poprad will be renovated or built from the scratch. The Polish Railway Lines (PKP) announced a competition for offers for the renovation works.                                                                      `
