Saukkola is an urban area and district in the city of Lohja and the former administrative centre of the Nummi-Pusula municipality. Old highway 1 between Turku and Helsinki (now called regional road 110) crosses through the area. Saukkola has a population of 1,034 inhabitants and is the second largest urban settlement in Lohja after the central urban area.
Saukkola village is considered to have been born around 1540, when there were three houses in the village. The name Saukkola (literally means the "place of otter") may have come from the owner of the first house in the village, whose name was again due to, for example, the hunting industry; otters, to which the name of the village refers, were also caught in the local region.
Distance between Saukkola and Salo is 50,8 km. There is a famous rest stop just about 15 km from Saukkola, called Taukopaikka Lahnajärvi, named after the lake.
And shortly after that we drive under the current highway 1 and cross the other side of the highway, where we remain till Turku.
