Kuhakoski (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkuhɑˌkoski]; literally meaning "zander rapids") is a rapids near the village of Perttula in Nurmijärvi, Finland. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Numlahti Manor and the Regional Road 132, 34 kilometres (21 mi) north of Helsinki. At the same time, Kuhakoski is the largest waterfall in the entire Uusimaa region, as it has a height of 16 meters. It is part of the Vantaa River watershed, which descends stepwise to Lake Valkjärvi with a length of 150 meters.The rapids themselves start from a river excavated into the rock, to which the water of the Luhtajoki River flows soon after crossing the Loppi Road and then the old stone arch bridge. After the rocky outcrop, the water falls down in three large stumps, then bubbling through the woods into a rural landscape filled with fields. The field before the Loppi Road undercut by the rapids is the former drained Lake Kuhajärvi.Kuhakoski's waterfalls has played an important part in the history of Nurmijärvi, as the rapids were once the most important mill rapids in the area. Since the beginning of the 16th century, four separate mills (the mills of the villages of Perttula, Uotila, Valkjärvi and Numlahti) and later also sawmilling have been operated in the rapids. In 1910, a small power plant was built in Kuhakoski by the Perttula and Uotila houses. The operation of the power plant continued until 1952. Even today, the foundations and ruins of the mills can be seen in the waterfall, reminiscent of the industrial history of the rapids. Other identifiable landmarks include the semi-two-storey brick building above the Valkjärventie road above the rapids, which was a former machine and car repair shop in Perttula from 1937 to 1972.In the northern part of the rapids, and especially in its eastern part, there is dry meadow, and on the rock along the rapids, bluebells and maiden pinks grow, among other things.

It is the largest urban area in Nurmijärvi, and despite the fact that it officially has the status of a village, it is often mistakenly thought to be a separate town due to its size and structure. In the 2010s, Klaukkala's urban area grew to be part of the larger Helsinki urban area. Klaukkala has a population of over 20,000 and is the fastest-growing area of Nurmijärvi; almost half of the total population of the municipality lives in Klaukkala. Its population began to rise in the 1960s, when it surpassed the church village of Nurmijärvi. In the 1970s, Klaukkala also grew larger than Rajamäki, which until then was the largest of Nurmijärvi's villages. At that time, Klaukkala's population was over 2,500. Klaukkala has significant migration mainly from the Helsinki conurbation; being a rural village a half-hour's drive away from the Helsinki centre, it especially attracts families with children. Unfortunately, due to the enormous population growth, the village is also infamous for its growing traffic, which causes local problems at the mornings and afternoons.In the early 2000s, many detached houses were built in Klaukkala, but the situation has changed as up to three-quarters of the new houses are apartment, terraced and semi-detached houses.

Nurmijärvi Church (Finnish: Nurmijärven kirkko, Swedish: Nurmijärvi kyrka) is a wooden church in Nurmijärvi, built in 1793. The church was built by Matti Åkerblom. The bell tower was completed in 1795 and was built by Mats Åkergren. The church is the fourth wooden church built in the Nurmijärvi village, the previous church built in 1692 was demolished in 1793. In 1776 King Gustav III ordered the churches to be built of stone. The lawns leaned on the parish of the church and were allowed to build a wooden church. At the end of the 18th century, the church was on the shore of the lake, but the "Kirkkojärvi" was drained in the 20th century. The Church is a transcendental cross church. There are bevels in the inner corner, and there are hallways at the end of the three bars. The ungodly shroud of the church has a roof razor. A lot of artefacts have been donated to the church, such as a candlestick, a candlestick and vases hanging on a central cross. Also stained glass has been donated. The appearance and interior of the church has been changed several times. The current look is from 1932. The church was painted externally in the renovation of 1993, when the roof was also greeted. Changes have also taken place indoors. For example, in the 1830s, images of the Apostles and other biblical images covered with white paint in the 1880s were painted in magazines and pulpit. The interior was repaired and painted on the church's 200th anniversary, and old wall paintings were brought out. The 1993 repair was designed by Touko Saari Architects. The altarpiece, the ascension of Jesus, is from 1832 and painted by C. Elfström. The late Baroque furrows built by Martti Porthan in 1993 are 30-fold. They are the third organ of the Church. In the repair of the 1990s, the church benches were designed to be more comfortable to sit on, although they are otherwise original. The front seats are now portable as well as the altar bracket, making it easier to organize music and choir events in the church. The benchmark has been cut, the church was originally occupied by the then Nurmijärvi settlement population, about one thousand people. The Nurmijärvi parish has two other churches, the Klaukkala Church completed in 2004 and the Rajamäki Church from 1938.
