Kirkonkylä–Vihantasalmi route is located in the typical Finnish forest scenery. Along the route you will come across the Mäntyharju Summer Cottage exhibition site built in 2011.

When leaving Pyhäjärvi you cross the bridge over the small boat lock, which used to be the log rolling route. The lock connects Pyhävesi to Vihannanselkä. The route continues from Vihantasalmi to Pertunmaa and forms part of the outdoor route which connects Mäntyharju and Pertunmaa.
