Kota and wooden are located at the Hyypän hut. Hyypän's hut has the opportunity to go for the valley jogging and the Rauhaaluoma route and the study path.

Rauhaluoma Trail (Rauhaluoman reitti) is about 10.4 km as a point-to-point hike through Hyypänjokilaakso in southern Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia. It follows the Rauhaluoma stream corridor in the nationally valued farmland and river-valley landscape described on the City of Kauhajoki’s Hyypänjokilaakso page(1). The same municipality page notes a walking network of roughly 6–17 km routes in the countryside and that most walks can start from Hyypän maja at Könnönkyläntie 25(1). Visit Suupohja describes marked walking routes on village roads, fallow fields, and forest paths in the middle of the valley, with service points including Hyypän maja and Panttikylän lintutorni on Pantintie 63(2). The Lauhanvuori - Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark highlights Hyypänjokilaakso among its geological and scenic showcase sites along the long South Ostrobothnia Geopark cycling route(3). From the Hyypän service cluster near Könnönkyläntie, the route passes Hyypän majan koirakenttä, Hyypän jäärata, and Hyypän Kota—natural break points before the path turns toward views and the stream. About 6.3 km from the start, Hyypän Lintutorni offers a raised vantage over fields and the river corridor. Near 7 km, Rauhaluoman Kota sits close to the water for shelter and a pause. The trail ties into the wider Hyypän network on our map: Opintopolku and Laakson lenkki share the same hub area, Hyypänjokilaakson maisemareitti follows the signed valley cycling circuit, Hyypän kuntorata is a short fitness loop nearby, and Korhoosen kierros runs as a separate nearby hike. Dry toilets are available at busy service points in the valley rather than as isolated waypoints. Kauhajoki lies in South Ostrobothnia. The plain city name appears here so you can open our Kauhajoki page without confusion with organization names in the sentences above.

For closures, nesting restrictions, and up-to-date park rules, the Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park hiking section on Luontoon.fi is the right starting point(1). Visit Seinäjoki Region’s Kauhalammi tour page translates the outing into practical English: a calm, bird-rich circuit around Kauhalammi along the old Kyrönkankaan fairway, with a bog-edge tower, duckboards, and a summer swim from the pier(2). Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark lists Kauhalammin kierros among its flagship walks, quotes about an hour on easy grades, and explains how signposting runs counter-clockwise while both directions stay allowed(3). Samuli Seppälä’s Retkipaikka feature on the national park is worth reading for dusk-and-dawn atmosphere on the bog, crane flights in autumn, and frank notes about drinking-water wells and firewood shelters(4). The trail is about 4,5 km in Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia, on the north side of Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park. Official leaflets and regional pages often round Kauhalammin kierros to roughly 3–5 km depending on how they measure the ring, but our line follows about 4,5 km end to end. Terrain stays mostly even: forest roads and paths, then roughly 1,6 km of duckboards across the raised bog between Kauhalammi and Salomaa(2). After wet spells, the shoreline link can puddle, so waterproof footwear helps on that leg(2). You begin near Kauhalammi levähdyspaikka läntinen laituri. About 2,8 km along, the Salomaa cluster groups Salomaa kaivo, Salomaan esteetön taukopaikka, and Salomaa tulentekopaikka with dry toilets nearby—Plan a longer break here if you are camping, because tenting is permitted at the Salomaa campfire area(3)(4). Kauhalammi uimalaituri sits a little farther around the lake for a summer dip(2)(4). On the Nummikangas side you reach Nummikangas P-paikka henkilöautot and Nummikangas P-paikka linja-autot for buses, then Kauhanevan luontotorni for views over the bog, plus Nummikangas tulentekopaikka and Nummikangas kaivo; Salomaa P-paikka closes the circuit toward the Karvia side. Cycling guests often share the same trail fabric: Kansallispuistojen pyöräilyreitti/Kauhajoki and Pohjankangas ym. pyöräilyreitit touch these parking areas, Kyrönkankaan museotie/ Karvia follows the historic road spine, Kauhalammin esteetön reitti offers a shorter accessible option from Salomaa, and Nummijärvi Camping - Kauhaneva links the northern car park with the village camping roads.

Laakson Valley Loop (Laakson lenkki) is about 16.7 km as a circular hiking route through the nationally significant farmland and river-valley scenery of Hyypänjokilaakso in southern Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia. For the wider valley context—open fields, traditional Ostrobothnian farm clusters, and views from roads crossing the valley—see the City of Kauhajoki’s Hyypänjokilaakso page(1). Visit Suupohja describes a marked walking network in the middle of the valley between Korhoskylä and Panttikylä with circular options of about 17, 10, and 6 km on village and field roads, fallow fields, and forest paths, plus four service points with parking where walks are easy to start, including Hyypän maja at Könnönkyläntie 25 and Panttikylän lintutorni at Pantintie 63(2). This route matches the longest of those loops(2). The regional visitor pages for the valley also highlight a lookout tower along Pantintie with wide views across the river corridor(3). Along the circuit you pass the Hyypän service area around Könnönkyläntie: Hyypän jäärata (ice-skating track), Hyypän majan koirakenttä, and Hyypän Kota—good places to pause before the trail climbs toward birdwatching and views. About 9 km into the loop, Hyypän Lintutorni offers a raised vantage over the valley mosaic, and Rauhaluoman Kota sits a little farther on for shelter and a break. The route connects logically with other trails on our map in the same valley: Opintopolku and Korhoosen kierros share the Hyypän area, Rauhaluoman reitti links kota and tower sections, and Hyypänjokilaakson maisemareitti follows the signed cycling circuit through similar scenery. The shorter Hyypän kuntorata fitness loop is listed as a separate maintained trail nearby(4). Kauhajoki and local partners have received recognition for active landscape care in Hyypän(1). Kauhajoki lies in South Ostrobothnia. The plain city name appears here so you can open our Kauhajoki page without confusion with organization names in the sentences above.

Lauhanvuoren polut, Muurahainen–Lauhanvuori is about 7.8 km on our map as one hiking segment from the Muurahainen-side approach toward Lauhanvuori hill inside Lauhanvuori National Park. Kauhajoki forms the municipal frame on this northern approach to the park. For park rules, closures, and the official trail index, start with Luontoon.fi(1). Visit Seinäjoki Region walks through the broader Lauhanvuori Hiking Tour network, including how Lauhan kämppä sits on the climb toward the summit lookout, wooden pole markings with green tops on the west side of the park and blue tops on the south side, and junction guideposts in the national park(2). Retkipaikka gives a compact picture of Lauhanvuori as western Finland’s most prominent hill, rising well above the surrounding plains, and explains how the Muurahainen bus stop on Kantatie 44 connects walkers into the park by connector path or by following Lauhanvuorentie on foot(3). Near the start of the line you reach the Lauhan kämppä service cluster within the first couple of kilometres. Lauhan tuvan kesähuone, Lauhan tupa, and Lauhan kämppä puolikodat offer wilderness-hut and reservable summer-room options; Lauhanvuoren kaivo, kämppä provides water at the yard, and LAUHAN KÄMPÄN SAUNA sits a few hundred metres into the walk for sauna visits when booked. Lauhan kämpän parkkipaikka serves drivers who prefer to begin from the yard area instead of walking from Muurahainen. About 1.8 km along, Lauhanvuoren pysäköintialue, Kämpän risteys adds another parking option at the Kämpän risteys crossing—handy if you link into Terassikierros, Rantapolku, Lauhanvuoren polut, Lauhanvuori-Ahvenlammi, or Geobike Lauhanvuori where those routes share the same ground. Beyond the yard the trail continues into forest toward Lauhanvuori summit country and Lauhanvuori laki, pysäköintialue, näkötorni with its lookout tower and wide views that regional materials highlight for the whole park(2)(3). The climb includes steeper forest tread in places where the main tour description notes the pitch up from Lauhan kämppä toward the summit belt(2). Expect mostly dry pine heath and spruce stands typical of the hill, with occasional wet steps where duckboards help(2). Dry toilets sit near the main service points rather than as separate destinations along the way. Allow time for photography and breaks if you plan to meet up with day-loop walkers on Terassikierros or shorter outings on Rantapolku.

Opintopolku (the name means “learning trail” here—not the national study-info service) is about 5 km on our map as a point-to-point hiking leg through Hyypänjokilaakso in southern Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia. It threads the same nationally valued farmland and river-valley scenery—open fields, traditional Ostrobothnian farm clusters, and views from roads that cross the valley—that the City of Kauhajoki describes for the wider Hyypä area(1). Visit Suupohja outlines a marked walking network in the middle of the valley between Korhoskylä and Panttikylä on village and field roads, fallow fields, and forest paths, with circular options of about 17, 10, and 6 km and four service points with parking; this entry is a shorter, linear segment that ends at the Hyypän service cluster(2). The southern end sits beside Hyypän Kota, Hyypän jäärata, and Hyypän majan koirakenttä at Könnönkyläntie—natural break spots before you continue on other lines in the valley. The visitor listing for Hyypän kota describes a small kota next to Hyypän maja with a dry toilet beside it; bring your own firewood for the kota(3). From this hub you can join Laakson lenkki for a longer loop toward Hyypän Lintutorni and Rauhaluoman Kota, follow Rauhaluoman reitti through similar scenery, or pick up the signed Hyypänjokilaakson maisemareitti cycling circuit; Hyypän kuntorata is a short fitness loop nearby, and Korhoosen kierros covers another corner of the same network. Kauhajoki lies in South Ostrobothnia. The plain city name appears here so you can open our Kauhajoki page without confusion with organization names in the sentences above.

Korhoosen kierros is about 5.7 km as a hiking route through Hyypänjokilaakso in southern Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia. The name fits the same walking network that Visit Suupohja describes between Korhoskylä and Panttikylä, where one of four signed service points with parking sits at Yli-Korhosen tila on Yliluhdantie 5—so this line is the corner of the valley associated with the Korhosen farm area rather than a separate, unrelated trail name(2). For the wider setting—nationally valued farmland in a roughly 20 km river valley, traditional Ostrobothnian farm clusters, and views from roads that cross the corridor—the City of Kauhajoki’s Hyypänjokilaakso pages are the place to start for landscape context and any local updates(1). The route is not a simple ring on the signposted family of circles (about 17, 10, and 6 km) in the same network; at this length it works as a compact walk that still uses the same field roads, fallow edges, and forest paths as the longer loops(2). You can combine it naturally with Opintopolku toward Hyypän Kota, Hyypän jäärata, and Hyypän majan koirakenttä at Könnönkyläntie, with Laakson lenkki for a full valley loop past Hyypän Lintutorni and Rauhaluoman Kota, or with Rauhaluoman reitti along the Rauhaluoma stream. The signed Hyypänjokilaakson maisemareitti cycling circuit shares the valley’s green waymarking idea with the bike network described for the area(3). Kauhajoki lies in South Ostrobothnia. The plain city name appears here so you can open our Kauhajoki page without confusion with organization names in the sentences above.

Rantapolku is about 2.3 km as a circular hiking trail on the summit of Lauhanvuori in Lauhanvuori National Park, managed by Metsähallitus. Kauhajoki lies in South Ostrobothnia, and the park is also promoted as part of the Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark. For downloads, route descriptions, and national park rules, start from the Rantapolku page on Luontoon.fi(1). The loop starts at Lauhanvuori laki, pysäköintialue, näkötorni: from the observation tower foot you follow marked paths to the signed ring. Within the first half-kilometre you pass the Lauhan kämppä cluster—Lauhan kämpän parkkipaikka, Lauhan tupa, Lauhan tuvan kesähuone, Lauhan kämppä puolikodat, Lauhanvuoren kaivo, kämppä, LAUHAN KÄMPÄN SAUNA, and Lauhanvuoren käymälä, kämppä services—so this is a natural place to pause before dropping toward the ancient shoreline benches described on Finnish nature trail boards(2). Farther along, Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark describes post-glacial shoreline scenery and potato-field history on what was once an island landscape, before the path climbs back to the summit edge near Lauhanvuoren käymälä, näkötorni(2). Rantapolku shares tread with Terassikierros in places, so you can treat it as a shorter alternative ring while longer day plans stay on the main terrace loop(2). Visit Suupohja highlights easy footing, clear direction posts, and good views from the tower before you circle the shore side; they also note dry toilets at the summit and near Lauhan tupa and recommend carrying your own toilet paper(3). Retkeile Lakeuksilla lists firewood service at the pair shelters near Lauhan vuokratupa, leave-no-trace expectations, and that the trail is not machine-maintained in winter(4). Askeleita Suomessa describes the path as gentle forest walking for families and a worthwhile short outing from the tower car park(5).

For national-park rules, closures, and the authoritative trail description for Katikankierros, start with the Metsähallitus trail page on Luontoon.fi(1). Retkeile Lakeuksilla summarises difficulty, insect tips, and winter access for hikers planning from South Ostrobothnia(2). Jonna Saari’s winter walk on Retkipaikka gives a vivid sense of footing and atmosphere when snow lies deep in the gorge, including how steel stairs and bridges feel along the way(3). Katikan Canyon Trail is about 2 km on our map through Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park in Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia. It drops into forested stream gorges where tall spruce and meandering brooks fill a canyon roughly twenty metres deep; water has cut through sand soils here for some nine thousand years(2)(4). The hike crosses the stream on wooden bridges more than once and climbs to Kolmentuulenlakki, a narrow ridge between gullies where the scale of the canyon opens up(2)(3)(4). Steel stairways and hand lines assist on the steepest climbs(2)(3). About 1.1 km along the route on our line you reach Katikankanjoni laavu, a lean-to with a campfire place and firewood supply noted on visitor pages; dry toilets sit nearby as part of the services at this node(1)(2). That same stop lies on longer cycling approaches—Kansallispuistojen pyöräilyreitti/Kauhajoki, Nummijärvi Camping - Katikankanjoni, and Hyypänjokilaakson maisemareitti all meet the canyon area—so combining a short hike with a bike day in the Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark is straightforward if you already have bikes(4). Katikankanjoni P-Alue is the main parking at the trail hub with space and national-park signage off Kiviluomantie(2). The route is short but physically demanding: many height differences and steep slopes, slippery tread after rain, and no winter maintenance(2). It is not suitable for strollers(2). Long sleeves help in the sheltered spruce and stream valley, which mosquitoes frequent in warm weather(2). Leave no trace and pack out your litter; check forest-fire warnings before lighting a fire(2). Read more about firewood and overnight rules on our Katikankanjoni laavu page.

This is an easy-oriented mountain bike connector in Kauhajoki countryside between Nummijärvi Camping and the Nummikangas trailhead area for Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park near Kauhaneva mire. On our map the line is about 4.6 km as one continuous point-to-point ride through forest and track south from the camping toward the national-park access cluster. The Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark publishes the full signed Nummijärvi–Kauhaneva mountain bike connection at about 17.9 km one way, with an estimated riding time near one hour, green-and-white painted posts and signs, and GPX on Outdooractive as extra guidance(1). Metsähallitus outlines cycling in Kauhanevan-Pohjankangas National Park on Luontoon.fi, which is the right place to double-check access rules before you ride into the protected area(2). Surfaces are mostly straightforward old forest roads; the Geopark rates the whole signed connection as easy and suitable for mountain bikes, gravel bikes, or stout-tired touring rigs(1). Independent route listings round the distance to about 18 km and quote modest ascent on similar terrain(3). Along our mapped line the interest builds toward the Nummikangas end: car and coach parking sit together at the forest edge, a well and a campfire site sit a short walk from the tower viewpoint on Kauhanevan luontotorni, and from that hub you link naturally into longer cycling and hiking options such as Kansallispuistojen pyöräilyreitti/Kauhajoki, Pohjankangas ym. pyöräilyreitit, and Nummijärvi Camping - Katikankanjoni. Pasi Talvitie’s Retkipaikka write-up of a longer Lauhanvuori and Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas bike loop is still worth reading for how the marked network feels on the ground, even if your day is shorter(4).

This is an easy, signposted mountain bike connection in Kauhajoki between Nummijärvi Camping and the Katikankanjoni canyon area at the edge of Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park. On our map the line is about 11.6 km as one continuous one-way ride; the Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark publishes the same connection as roughly 23.2 km out-and-back with about 1 hour 30 minutes riding time, 56 m of climb and 56 m of descent, green-and-white paint on posts and signs, and a GPX track on Outdooractive as extra guidance(1). Surfaces are mostly old forest roads and village-edge tracks, suited to mountain bikes, gravel bikes, or stout-tired touring bikes(1). From the camping cluster you pass the disc golf course, a swimming beach on the campsite shore, and the biathlon range before the line turns southwest through forest toward Kiviluomantie and the dedicated Katikankanjoni parking. About 300 m on foot or by bike from that lot brings you to Katikankanjoni laavu with a campfire spot, dry toilet, and supplied firewood(1). The Geopark notes a separate, demanding 2 km nature trail in the canyon (known as Katikankierros at about 2.3 km); that foot loop is much steeper and is for walking, not cycling(1). For planning and current details, the Geopark route page is the clearest official starting point(1); Metsähallitus outlines cycling in the national park on Luontoon.fi(2). The City of Kauhajoki summarises how Katikan kanjonit fit into the wider park and points visitors toward Geopark services(3). An independent listing rounds the ride to about 23 km with modest total ascent(4). Return is normally the same marked track; the Geopark also mentions following Kansallispuistojen pyöräilyreitti/Kauhajoki or arranging a pickup(1). The route meets Hyypänjokilaakson maisemareitti near the canyon end and links naturally to other local biking legs such as Nummijärvi Camping - Kauhaneva and Pohjankangas ym. pyöräilyreitit. Winter ski and fitness loops around Nummijärven kuntolatu and Nummijärven kuntorata touch the same camping hub.

Visit Seinäjoki Region summarises the Hyypänjokilaakso cycling routes through village roads, field tracks, and forest paths, all marked in green on posts and with arrow boards, travelled under everyman's rights at your own risk, with no summer or winter maintenance(1). The City of Kauhajoki presents the valley as a long, fairly steep-sided channel south of Kauhajoki in South Ostrobothnia, nationally valued for its open cropland and clusters of Ostrobothnian farm buildings from the 1800s and early 1900s, with walking and cycling networks that visitors often begin from Hyypän Kota at Könnönkyläntie 25(2). The ride is about 24.4 km as one line through that cultural landscape—not a circuit. About 11 km along, the Hyypän service area clusters Hyypän Kota with Hyypän jäärata and Hyypän majan koirakenttä beside local tracks. The same neighbourhood links across to the Opintopolku learning trail, Laakson lenkki, Korhoosen kierros, Rauhaluoman reitti, and Hyypän kuntorata for shorter loops or running laps if you want to mix activities in one outing. Further south, Hyypän Lintutorni sits in the Pantintie tower area that Visit Suupohja singles out for wide views over the jokilaakso(3). A little beyond, Rauhaluoman Kota offers a wilderness-style pause on the forest side. Toward the southern end the route meets the long Kauhajoki national parks cycling route that connects Lauhanvuori and Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas geopark country in Kauhajoki. Katikankanjoni P-Alue and Katikankanjoni laavu mark the canyon edge where the short Katikankierros foot loop and the Nummijärvi Camping – Katikankanjoni bike link also arrive. Retkipaikka hosts Pasi Talvitie's mountain-bike story that follows the marked Kauhajoki national-parks route into Katikankanjoni on a longer two-park tour(4)—useful background if you plan to continue beyond this scenic segment.

Taiteiden reitti Kammista Skantziin is about 37 km point-to-point cycling corridor between Kammi village near Nummijärvi in Kauhajoki and Kulttuurikeskus Skantz in Karvia, threading five major art and culture stops across two municipalities in South Ostrobothnia. For difficulty (moderate), timing (about 2 h 30 min by bike), turn-by-turn directions, elevation figures, parking notes, and a GPX link, plan from the dedicated trail page published by Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark(1). The themed stops are Kammi-kylä and Alpon Savanni, Annen Taidekahvila, Karvia church with the open-air museum area, and Kulttuurikeskus Skantz(1)(3)(4). Kammi-kylä is a cluster of crooked timber buildings on untouched mire, with tar products and bookable saunas in summer. Alpon Savanni is an ITE-art yard with roughly 150 recycled-material animal sculptures. Annen Taidekahvila combines paintings, ateliers, café, concerts, and a forest art path. Near Karvia centre the route uses the light-traffic corridor past the church and museum before continuing south toward Skantz, a modern culture arena inspired by the historic Kyrö-Skantz fort(3). Along the mapped line you pass service points such as Salakarin seurojentalo very early, then Saran kota around the 20 km mark—right where Saran valaistu latu and Saran valaistu kuntorata meet that kota in winter. Closer to Karvia, Kirkkojärven uimapaikka and the beach-volleyball pitch sit near Kirkkojärvi beach. Near the Kantinkangas side of the village, Kantin koulun beachvolleykenttä lines up with Kantin latu, Kantin kuntorata, and the longer Kyrönkankaan museotie/ Karvia cycling description if you want a detour toward Nummikangas and Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas national park facilities. The final kilometres thread Kirkonkylän laavu, Leijonametsän ulkokuntosali ja kuntoportaat, and the Karviatalo sports cluster before reaching Skantz. To cycle back toward Nummijärvi after Skantz you can follow guidance for Kyrönkankaan museotie through Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas national park(1). City of Kauhajoki groups this ride inside the broader Two Billion Year Tours cycling network that spans nine Geopark municipalities, with digital collections also pointed from its outdoor pages(2). Regional cycling inspiration lists the same five headline stops(4). There is no public transport on the corridor itself, so most people arrive by car or their own bike(1). In summer, residents along the roads often set out folk and ITE sculptures as informal roadside galleries—a pattern highlighted on Karvia visitor pages(3). The Leader Pohjois-Satakunta blog recorded an opening-season coach tour in 2021 and notes the tourism-route status granted in summer 2020(5).

This long gravel and forest-road circuit ties together Lauhanvuori National Park, Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park, and views into Hyypänjokilaakso on the Kauhajoki side of the Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark. For turn-by-turn narrative, GPX, and how markings relate to navigation, start from the Lauhanvuori-Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark route page for Kansallispuistojen pyöräilyreitti Kauhajoella(1). The City of Kauhajoki summarises how local marked cycling links Nummijärvi Camping, Katikankanjoni, Kauhaneva parking nodes, and Hyypänjokilaakso, and which legs read more like mountain-bike terrain than quiet village roads(2). National-park cycling behaviour on the Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas side is framed on the Metsähallitus outdoor service under Pyöräily for that park(3). The trail on our map is about 72.9 km. Lauhanvuori-Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark publishes a very similar full circuit at about 80.6 km and roughly eight hours in the saddle, aimed at gravel, mountain, or trekking bikes over forest roads, old cart tracks, and short paved links(1). Either way you are committing to a full day or an overnight: the Geopark text suggests planning food, two-day pacing, tenting or rental cabins in the parks, or a sauna and bed detour near Lauhansarvi(1). From the Lauhanvuori end you soon work around the Lauhanvuori laki, pysäköintialue, näkötorni cluster with the peak lookout and services, then Lauhanvuoren pysäköintialue, Kämpän risteys as a second major trailhead corner. The ride shares landscape with hikers on Lauhanvuoren polut, Lauhanvuori-Ahvenlammi, Lauhanvuoren polut, Kivijata-Lauhanvuori, and Terassikierros, so keep speed sensible where foot traffic gathers. About 22 km into the GPX line you pass the Katikankanjoni laavu and the nearby Katikankanjoni P-Alue parking—this is the steep canyon stretch the Geopark warns is the crux: a sharp drop and climb on an old cart track where many riders walk the worst metres(1). Past Nummijärven leirintäalueen uimaranta and the Nummijärvi activity strip, the line reaches Nummikangas P-paikka henkilöautot and Nummikangas P-paikka linja-autot beside Kauhanevan luontotorni and the Salomaa rest cluster: Salomaa tulentekopaikka, wells, dry toilets, Salomaan esteetön taukopaikka, and Salomaa P-paikka. The Kauhalammi uimalaituri and western Kauhalammi levähdyspaikka landing stages sit on the rim of Kauhalammi, handy for a swim when water levels suit(1). Several shorter Geopark legs—such as the green-and-white Nummijärvi–Kauhaneva connection(4)—overlap these roads if you want a lower-distance sampler. Pasi Talvitie’s Retkipaikka story from a May 2016 overnight describes how closely a DIY link of the two parks can follow this historic Kauhajoki-signed “Kansallispuistojen maastopyöräreitti” and names Katikankanjoni, Kolmentuulenlakki, Salomaa tent nights beside Kauhaneva, and the spaced-out pine landscapes that still show old storm and fire history(5). Kauhajoki lies in South Ostrobothnia; expect remote forest legs, self-sufficient repair kits, and drinking water planning around the wells and service points you pass.
