    A city walk combining cultural and religious sites in the beautiful scenery of Lapua. The starting point is the historic Old Paukku and the route circles about 5 kilometres, which surely offers something for everyone!

    Author’s recommendation

    It's definitely worth exploring the surroundings more at the Cathedral and Old Paukku! Also visit the tourism garden, if possible.
