Living conditions have been improved by the water cooperative. The most famous of the attractions in the area is Vallinkoski in Hallikkala, whose natural beauty and untouched nature attracted many tourists to the village 100 years ago. Besides Vallinkoski, the most beautiful scenery in the village is the view from Vierinnanmäki to the mouth of Hallikkaanjoki and the scenery of the Ilvespirti nature trail.
