South Ostrobothnian villages were built along rivers, where vast fields were also cleared. A circular route from Seinäjoki to Lapua – or from Lapua to Seinäjoki – and back along the Nurmo River offers a pleasant outing and a great opportunity to see typical Ostrobothnian countryside, with its fields and village roads. Lapua is home to numerous restaurants and shops and its Vannha Paukku Culture Centre and Jokilaakso Garden Centre offer plenty to see and do.

If you start from Lapua, the centre of Seinäjoki is located about eight kilometres from Nurmo Church. In the centre of Nurmo, you can find shops and Seinäjoki’s Hyllykallio district with its Prisma hypermarket located 4.5 km away. Near Nurmo and Lapua, the route has cycling lanes but most of the route runs along a smaller village road with only a narrow hard shoulder or no hard shoulder at all. Take care when cycling along these stretches even though other road users are considerate and give way to other traffic.
