Main road 44 is a main road that runs from Kiikka in Sastamala to Aronkylä in Kauhajoki. The length of the road is 150 kilometers. The road is completely two-lane and of varying quality. I drove this from Kiikka to Kankaanpää last January, and this is fourth part and we are back from Kiikoinen to Kiikka.
The oldest passage in the province was from Hämeenkyrö through the ridges to Kauhajoki. In the 17th century it was the most important road between southern Finland and Ostrobothnia. The king of Sweden visited Kankaanpää twice. Gustavus Adolphus travelled from Ilmajoki to Hämeenlinna through Kankaanpää in 1614 and Adolf Fredrik had a rest in Kuninkaanlähde spring to water his horses and to eat in 1752. The spring was named after this event.
