Kauhajoki in three videos: recycled art, peatland and Nummirock

Three distinct encounters with Kauhajoki: Alpon Savanni, Kauhaneva's mire landscape and the Nummirock festival site.

Erkki Pirtola's film is titled around Alpo Koivumäki's Savanna and is embedded on the sculpture site's official page. Its personal camera-eye takes the viewer among the recycled-material animals and the handmade environment that made this Nummijärvi yard a distinctive art stop. It complements the city and artist information, but it is not an opening-hours notice; the site is seasonal, so check the current visit arrangements.

The film by Digi Kauhajoki turns toward Hyypänjokilaakso, a long valley where a narrow, winding river, spring-fed streams and varied habitats cut through the familiar Ostrobothnian farm landscape. The images explain why this protected cultural landscape feels different from the open fields around the town centre. It is a visual introduction, not a trail guide: check current route information and access conditions from the city before setting out.

The official Nummirock aftermovie captures the 2025 edition of the midsummer festival at Nummijärvi. Stages, camping and lakeside surroundings reveal a different side of Kauhajoki from its museums and quiet nature sites: a seasonal gathering built around live music and a rural setting. It records one past festival, not the next programme, transport or campsite availability; consult the organiser for current dates and practical details.
