Pomarkku: Tie 23 - Parkano
Pomarkku is best known within Finland for its position on Highway 23, a long east–west road running from Pori toward Joensuu. The municipality belongs to Satakunta and occupies the low, forested interior behind Finland’s west coast, in the Karvianjoki river basin. Scattered homes and farmland break up a landscape otherwise dominated by woodland and wet ground, giving the settlement a distinctly rural scale. Pomarkku’s timber church, completed in 1802, is a reminder of the parish’s long local identity. For travellers between Pori and central Finland, the road through Pomarkku introduces the quieter side of Satakunta, where services are concentrated in a compact municipal centre rather than a large town.

Among the municipalities of Mainland Finland, Pomarkku stands out for its setting along the Pomarkunjoki River in the wooded inland of Satakunta. Forest, farmland and small waterways shape this quiet rural community, which lies away from Finland’s coastal cities yet remains closely tied to the wider landscape of western Finland. Pomarkku Church, a wooden church completed in 1802, is a local historical landmark and a reminder of the parish traditions that have long structured life here. The area suits travellers interested in Finland beyond its major urban centres, where everyday life follows the rhythm of the seasons.

North of the city, Yyteri is recognised for its long sandy beach and dune terrain. Further south, Rauma preserves Old Rauma, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed wooden town centre whose street plan reflects centuries of maritime trade and craftsmanship.

The terrain of Finland ranges from low coastal plains along the Gulf of Bothnia to fells in Lapland, creating a country of forests, lakes and long northern distances. More than 180,000 lakes shape everyday life, while the Lakeland region is threaded with waterways and islands. Helsinki, on the Gulf of Finland, combines neoclassical landmarks around Senate Square with contemporary Finnish design. Farther north, the Sámi are Finland’s only recognised Indigenous people, and their culture remains closely connected to the Arctic region. In winter, snow and ice transform the north; in summer, long daylight extends outdoor life well into the evening. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Finland.
