Enkelinpesä is group of caves formed when a large veined gneiss erratic boulder (12m x 12m x5-8m) cracked, and it contains a ledge cave and a crevice cave that runs through two boulders. The stone surfaces show large garnet crystals, illustrative migmatite structures and quartzified parts/dikes. There are also indeterminate red marks which are presumed to depict a human at an elevation of 1.1m on the walls of the ledge cave. Enkelinpesä is part of a marked network of Metsänväkitaipale paths and there is a small hut, campfire and benches underneath the ledge.
Enkelinpesä is one of the sights on the Metsänväkitaipale route. It is a hiking trail and leads to the landscapes of Neitvuori hill through Hiidenkierros trail: Description of the Neitvuori routes and instructions for arrival
