Inside this maze
This route uses 347 of the 560 hexagons, leaving 213 outside the answer. It is not a short passage concealed within an otherwise unused board: the successful line itself covers more than three-fifths of the available cells. The first fork is on the top row at column 5, reached after eight moves. From there, the answer encounters 37 junctions, makes 267 direction changes, and never maintains one direction for more than 4 moves.
The deepest detour from the answer ends 19 moves away from its attachment. That makes this sheet useful for comparing route length with branch depth: a 346-step successful journey can coexist with relatively short departures from it. After solving, choose one rejected branch and count the moves out and back separately. Those extra moves explain your actual tracing distance; they do not change the length printed for the shortest answer. Keep the six-sided cells large enough to annotate without obscuring their open edges.
