Nature
For its diversity of nature, Säkylä has a special position among Finnish municipalities. Säkylä's Lake Pyhäjärvi (Säkylän Pyhäjärvi), situated mainly in the area of Säkylä, is the biggest lake in southwestern Finland.[7][8] It is renowned for its clean and clear water and big yields of fish, and the maintenance of its natural state is secured by the common efforts of the inhabitants, the municipality, and local industry. The ecology of the lake is sensitive to disturbances and therefore its condition is closely monitored, which is why Pyhäjärvi is one of the most studied lakes in Europe.[8] Insects found nowhere else in Finland live on the Säkylänharju Ridge. The fauna and flora of the ridge include several other rare and threatened species.
Lake Pyhäjärvi is a versatile bird lake. During the year, practically all of the water and shore birds of the Finnish inland waters are found there. The nesting species include lake birds drawn to the barren shores and clear waters, as well as some demanding specialities of the best eutrophic bird bays.[9]
Culture
Säkylä is the original home of the Antti farmstead, nowadays a museum object in the Seurasaari Open Air Museum in Helsinki. According to Traficom, Säkylä is the second most motorized municipality in Finland with 651 cars per thousand inhabitants.[10]
The whitefish soup was named traditional dish of the Säkylä parish in the 1980s.[11]
