One attraction along the route: Koskisenkulma has served the residents of Salo as a business facility for a long time. The stately building was originally commissioned by Urho Järvinen, the merchant of Perttelin tulli, in 1929. Many people can still remember the building as the hardware store Salon Kone ja Rauta. The building was designed in classical style by architect brothers Jussi and Toivo Paatela. The building has Mediterranean features, such as pillars and decorative motifs. The building is protected under the regional plan.
