Tuntsa Wilderness Area, Protected wilderness area in Eastern Lapland, Finland
The Tuntsa Wilderness Area extends across 212 square kilometers of natural terrain, featuring the Tuntsajoki River and marked hiking paths through Finnish landscapes.
The Finnish government established the Tuntsa Wilderness Area in 1991 as part of a broader initiative to preserve significant natural regions in Lapland.
Forest ranger A. E. Järvinen documented the natural heritage of the Tuntsa region through literature, contributing to the understanding of Finnish wilderness.
The UKK Hiking Trail spans 112 kilometers from Naruska to Tulppio, with wilderness huts at Murhahaara and Härkätunturi providing shelter for hikers.
The area contains sections shaped by forest fires, creating a landscape that displays natural regeneration processes within the Arctic Circle environment.
