Alavus
A tiny Finnish town in South Ostrobothnia where flat agricultural plains give way to rolling hill terrain, Alavus is defined by its sixty lakes and over 300 kilometres of shoreline — a density of water unusual for the wider region. The internationally recognised Kuivasjärvi bird lake adds a wildlife dimension. Agriculture and forestry remain the economic backbone, and a small central core offers cafés and restaurants for visitors.
