Hugo's Trail (Hugon polku) is about 8.2 km point to point between Hyrynsalmi church village and the Hoikka area, threading the forested strip between Lake Hyrynjärvi and Highway 5. Hyrynsalmi municipality publishes its wider summer walking and cycling networks through the route guide, which links outdoor layers to map...
Walk either direction; many descriptions assume church village toward Hoikka, but the beach carpark supports shorter splits.
