Commune’s Biggest Advantages
Due to its geographical location, Kowal commune is a very attractive investment place. There are the newly built A1 motorway along the Kowal junction, national road No. 91 and railway line No. 18 between Kutno and Piła with the station in Gołaszew that run through the commune.
At a distance of 7 km from the motorway junction, a railway siding is located in Czerniewice.
To meet future investors, the local government of the commune developed a spatial development plan, which covers 140 ha in towns adjacent to the Kowal highway junction and national road No. 91. These areas are also located in the immediate vicinity of county road No. 2925C and in close proximity to voivodeship roads No. 265 Brzesc-Kujawski-Gostynin relation and No. 269 Szczerkowo-Kowal relation.

Tourist attractions
A big natural attraction of the commune is the Gostynińsko - Włocławski Landscape Park, which was created on April 5, 1979 and protected the country's unique areas with high and diverse natural, landscape, cultural and recreational values. Created as the sixth landscape park in Poland, it is a reference to the concept of "Ecological Systems of Protected Areas" and is an ecological corridor connecting the Kampinos Forest with the Bydgoszcz Forest, and then the Tuchola Forests. From the point of view of diversity and fauna resources, the most important biotope is Rakutowskie with the adjacent forest complex and vast meadows. This part of the Park was entered in the register of valuable areas for birds on a Polish and European scale, thus obtaining an international rank.
The Rakutowskie Lake and adjacent areas are part of the European Ecological Network - Natura 2000. 57 species of mammals were found in the Park. Establishing a reserve - Olszyna Rakutowskie and Rakutowskie Lake is evidence of activities aimed at protecting the most valuable natural resources. On the area of the Park there has been established the process of reintroduction of endangered species, which are threatened with extinction: European beaver and peregrine falcon. About 130 species of birds nest here, and an additional 30 species stay during flights. There are also species from the Polish Red Book of Animals: white-tailed eagle, eurasian bittern, grand curlew, black stork, as well as an emigrant from the Kampinos National Park - lynx. There are three single trees recognized as a natural monument in the commune.
