Nivala
Discover Nivala
One of the towns in the Kalajoki river basin, Nivala is best known as the home of Kyösti Kallio — the 4th president of Finland. The first church in Nivala was built in the 1620s, and the town became an independent parish in the 1650s. During the 18th century, Nivala developed as a regional trade center for commerce between the north and south of the country. The town's location at the crossroads of several important trade routes played a significant role in its development.

Essential Information
Getting There
Multiple OptionsNivala is situated along the Ylivieska–Iisalmi track; the former can be reached from most parts of Western, Southern and Northern Finland and the latter from most of Eastern Finland. Buses between Jyväskylä and Ylivieska stop in Nivala, and if you are coming from Oulu you can take a direct bus. Nivala is at the crossroads of highways 27 and 28, north-west to south-east between Kalajoki and Iisalmi, and west to east between Kokkola and Kajaani, respectively. Being a bit off the beaten track, the best way to get in is driving, and having your own car is also useful if you want to move about outside the town centre. Nivala is a two-hour drive from Oulu....
