Kauhava

Kauhava extends along the Kauhavanjoki River in the broad plains of western Finland, where level, cultivated surroundings have long tied the town to rural Ostrobothnia. It is closely associated with the puukko, the traditional Finnish utility knife, and local knife makers established Kauhava as an important centre of the craft. The former Kauhava Airfield also reflects a long aviation connection: the Finnish Air Force Academy was based here until 2014. The municipality includes Alahärmä, home to the PowerPark amusement resort. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Kauhava and mainland Finland.
