Pulju Wilderness Area, Wilderness reserve in Kittilä and Enontekiö, Finland.

This northern wilderness reserve extends across 614 square kilometers of land characterized by mires, spruce-covered hills, and multiple fells reaching heights over 400 meters.

The Finnish government designated this territory as a protected wilderness reserve in 1991, placing it under the management of Metsähallitus for conservation purposes.

The region maintains connections to indigenous Sámi traditions through active reindeer herding operations conducted by three different cooperatives across the protected lands.

A central road provides access through the wilderness area, connecting the villages of Nunnanen and Pulju with established paths and winter snowmobile tracks.

The territory contains distinctive worm-like winding moraines formed during the last ice age, located seven kilometers north of Pulju village.
