Pirunpesä, Nokia, Glacial erratic in Sarkola, Nokia, Finland.
The Pirunpesä formation features multiple openings that lead to an interior chamber within a massive stone structure measuring 17 feet in length and 10 feet in height.
This geological formation emerged during the last Ice Age when glaciers transported and deposited the enormous boulder, which later developed its characteristic hollow structure through erosion.
The Sami people utilized this stone formation as a Sieidi, incorporating it into their traditional worship practices before the introduction of Christianity in the region.
The formation sits 500 yards from the nearest road access point, requiring visitors to follow specific paths while respecting the surrounding private properties and cabin areas.
The interior of the stone displays distinctive honeycomb patterns, making it the second largest tafoni structure documented in Finland.
