The Pulju Wilderness Area is a wilderness with large marshes and numerous hazards and fells, which is well suited for experienced hikers and hikers. As the jams ripen in late summer, the area's marshes also attract day trips. After all, the wilderness split by the road is a relatively easy destination for orienteering skiers.
The road between the villages of Nunnanen and Pulju and a snowmobile track passes through the area in a north-south direction. To the east of the area is the Lemmenjoki National Park, to the northwest it is bordered by the Pöyrisjärvi Wilderness Area and to the north the Norwegian border.
