Taivalmaa

The village of Taivalmaa is located on the border of the city of Kurikka and the Peräseinäjoki settlement, which is part of the city of Seinäjoki. It is 15 kilometers to the center of Jalasjärvi, 9 kilometers to Peräseinäjoki and 35 kilometers to Seinäjoki. The village is a traditional agricultural area, which, however, as the size of farms has increased, has changed in many respects into a comfortable place to live, from which people go to work outside the village. There are about 100 residents in the village, and there are also many second-hand homes. The peaceful, warm-hearted community in the midst of diverse nature adds to the comfort of living.
