A mobile route implemented by Lapua Adult Education Centre's Media Workshop and the Kirkkotiet development project in the area of Lapua town centre.
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.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
