Parkano

Built around a rural parish centre, Parkano grew into a small Finnish town in the Pirkanmaa region. It stands in the forest-and-lake country of western Finland, with Lake Kirkkojärvi close to the centre and woodland extending across the surrounding municipality. Parkano received town status in 1977 and is served by the Tampere–Seinäjoki railway; its station lies east of the centre on an important north–south route through the Finnish interior. Life here follows the measured rhythm of a regional town, shaped by forests, lakes and changing seasons. See how Parkano fits into Pirkanmaa and western Finland by browsing webcams nearby.
