The afternoon leads to the frozen Jylhänkoski Rapids, where ice forms bizarre shapes. Since it gets dark early, the walk ends in the warm glow of the center's streetlights.

The afternoon brings you back to the town center for a well-deserved coffee break. It's a day that perfectly combines culture, nature, and light exercise.

In the late afternoon, you'll make a detour to the church of Ylihärmä before returning to Kauhava's center for a well-deserved dinner. This day is a mix of culture, adrenaline, and rural charm.
