The Melnik pyramids are located northeast of the town of Melnik
(direction Rozhen Monastery), in the southwestern foothills of the
Pirin Mountain. They are rock formations, some with height of 100
meters, with sand, almost vertical slopes. The most popular among them
are a group of pyramids, which is located near the village of Kurlanovo (see also the Kurlanovo sandstone pyramids).
The pyramids can be reached by well-marked eco-trail from town of Melnik
or from Rozhen monastery. Apart the "rock pyramids", in the region can
be seen many other interesting rock formations such as "stone
mushroom","rock needles","cones" and others.
Melnik pyramids were declared a natural monument in 1960. (source http://visit.guide-bulgaria.com/a/608/melnik_sandstones_pyramids.htm)
