Kauhava is a safe and vibrant small town with approximately 15,000 residents. The city was formed over
ten years ago through the merger of the municipalities of Alahärmä, Kauhava, Kortesjärvi, and Ylihärmä.
The former municipalities are now four lively neighbourhoods within the city, each with its unique
characteristics.
Kauhava is crossed by Highway 19 and Main Road 63, making it easily accessible. The city also has excellent
train connections, with two stations, including Härmä station, which is open in the summer to serve
travelers.
