Kauhajoki Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Kauhajoki

During World War II, when the Soviet Union attacked Finland in the Winter War, the Parliament was evacuated and temporarily relocated to Kauhajoki, far away from the front. After the war, Kauhajoki grew rapidly thanks to industry; several factories were established in the town. The town is known for its agricultural roots, with farming continuing to play an essential role in the local economy. One of the town's most notable attractions is the Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas National Park, which features peatlands, forests, and wetlands. It can be visited on foot, by bike or on horseback.
