Description

Hallan Trail is about 8.2 km one-way hiking between the Ukkohalla holiday cluster on Lake Syväjärvi and higher forest on the vaara slopes in Hyrynsalmi, Kainuu. For summer trail maps and the municipal network total (roughly 52 km of hiking trails in Hyrynsalmi), start from Hyrynsalmen kunta. Day-hike ideas from the resort centre and contact for local tips are on Ukkohalla trekking pages. A rural development project involving Hyrynsalmi and Metsähallitus upgraded and built multiple hiking and biking connections around Ukkohalla, linked Paljakanvaara, and fed into Natura and Vorlokki conservation landscapes—useful background on why the route network here feels intentional and well stitched. From the Ukkohalla end you begin among services families already use: Hotel Ukkohalla, the Ukkohalla beach, grill and kota spots, saunas, disc golf, ski hill frontage, and several parking areas steps from the shore. Kalalla Kainuussa notes guided trails and fire-and-sausage rest spots around Syväjärvi—handy context if you want a swim or shoreline fishing after hiking; lake fishing rules and licences are separate from walking the trail. About 0.6 km into the walk the line reaches the Syväjärvi parking pocket, a half-kota and the northwestern Syväjärvi lean-to—natural breaks before the path climbs into mixed forest on the highlands. Mountain bikers can branch onto Letuksen mtb-lenkki, which shares the same trailhead neighbourhood. Longer classics in the wider valley—Komulanköngäs waterfall and the Vorlokki gorge on the UKK hiking route—are described from Hyrynsalmi attractions pages and the Ukkohalla Komulanköngäs introduction if you want to combine outings.

Length & route

The route is about 8.2 km end-to-end and is not a loop; plan transport or a return leg along other paths if you need a circuit. Hyrynsalmen kunta publishes a downloadable summer route bundle for Ukkohalla on its summer routes page.

Getting there

Aim for the Ukkohalla resort and Syväjärvi shoreline in Hyrynsalmi. On-site parking sits beside the accommodation and activity cluster—use Ukkohallan pysäköintialue or the smaller Parkkipaikka, Ukkohalla Finland next to the trail thread; Syväjärven parkkipaikka serves the northern shore shortcut roughly 0.6 km along the hike. Hyrynsalmen kunta links the map service and the Ukkohalla summer route PDF from its reittiopas for drivers coming from further away. Hotel Ukkohalla reception can point trekkers to practical tips.

Good to know

Separate paid rainbow trout fishing on Lake Syväjärvi has its own licences and season card prices; details and a shore pontoon bridge sit with Kalalla Kainuussa fishing site copy. Respect cottage shorelines when circling the lake. For Vorlokki snow/ice pockets in midsummer and historical mill detail at Komulanköngäs, consult Hyrynsalmen kunta attraction notes.
