The villages of Ylistaro are getting excited by organizing a cycling event on Sunday, July 10. During the day, you can independently tour various places to visit, which are located all around the municipality, from nature trail lean-tos to swimming spots and from summer cafes to home museums. Village cycling combines exercise, outdoor activities and spending time together in a pleasant way. An added bonus is that residents – both new and old – become more aware of their home region.
Participants in the Ylistaro village cycling tour can navigate their route, for example, along the Kyrönjoki River or cycle to explore the natural attractions of more distant villages. A picture of the Kriikku mill and the cultural landscape of the Kyrönjoki River.
You can take a snack with you on your bike ride, as there are campfire sites at many lean-tos, both in the forest landscapes and along the Kyrönjoki River. The Kriikku mill has reopened its doors this summer, and you can take an ice cream break at Wanhan Markin Puimuri Pehmis. The Kitinoja village association will also hold a summer café from 8 July to 7 August in the old riiheh, at the crossroads of the road leading to the heritage village. The heritage village is one of the side attractions of the housing fair.
The museums that are open are the Ylistaro Home Museum, the Ritari Home Museum and the recently opened Rinta-Kaukola Home Museum. You can go swimming, for example, at the Rajamäki quarry or at the Pietarus swimming area along Könnintie. There is also a sauna there in the afternoon.
