Welcome to see the interesting sights of Nummi-Pusula
In 1981 two municipalities, Nummi and Pusula, merged to form the present municipality, with slightly more than 6 000 inhabitants and three major centres, Nummi, Pusula and Saukkola. The landscape in the southern part of the municipality is marked by extensive farming lands dotted with moraine hillocks while the northern part, which belongs to the Tammela uplands, is marked by forests and lakes. Owing to its beautiful landscape Nummi-Pusula is well suited for nature tourism.
Keräkankare ridge and the skiing centre of Alhovuori invite hikers and skiers. Accomodation facilities range from holiday farms and there is a good choice of cafés and restaurants. There are also caravan sites and a course centre.
