Karvia offers multiple routes to choose.

The Geopark routes go around a wider area, making the nearby municipalities familiar. You can step into the past by following the Kyrönkangas museum road and the medieval road to Nummijärvi. A boardwalk goes around Neva-Lyly lake in the western part of Parkano, on the board of Karvia. You can see a ridge landscape, a swamp and a cliff along the route. You can get to know authentic art and cultural lanscape of Karvia and Kauhajoki on the arts road. In summer the ITE (DIY) art of the people of Karvia takes over and visitors can enjoy the art.
