Kyrönkangas museum road
King Adolf Fredrik of Sweden travelled the Kyrönkankaantie on his trip to Finland in 1752. The new roads completed after the Finnish War displaced the Kyrönkankaantie and it remained mainly used for local traffic. Today, Kauhaneva's section is gravel and partly a plank path. The road has been best preserved on the outskirts of Kauhaneva.
The route guidance is provided by a GPX track in Outdooractive. The guidance is supplemented by old signposts en route.
