Kankaanpaa

Tucked into the western reaches of the Suomenselkä watershed, Kankaanpää is a town whose character is shaped by the forests, peatlands and lakes of inland Finland. Set in Satakunta’s northern interior, it lies well away from the Gulf of Bothnia coast and has the feel of a regional centre rooted in its surrounding woodland. Art is a notable part of local life: Kankaanpää Art School has trained visual artists, and the town’s Taidekehä, or Art Circle, places sculptures in public spaces. The nearby Niinisalo garrison also gives the area a lasting link to Finland’s defence forces. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of western Finland connects regionally.
