Alapää (Isokylä)

Ylistaro Alapää is the westernmost residential area of the city of Seinäjoki. The residential area is crossed by the Sininen tie that runs from Vaasa to Jyväskylä, the Vaasa-Seinäjoki railway, Kyrönjoki and the idyllic coastal roads that run on both sides of the river. Eteläpuleinen rantatie is a historic scenic road that belongs to the Soda and Rauhantie historical tourism route. Pelmaankoski, which is part of the Kyrönjoki kayaking route, and its one stop, the Pelmaansaari hut, are located in our area. The beautiful Heikkola suspension bridge over Kyrönjoki has been renovated for use by light traffic. No matter which road you take, you can admire the traditionally restored Ostrobothnian houses and vast fields. The space of living is touchable. There are almost 500 inhabitants.
