The Earth Pyramids of Melnik were proclaimed the natural landmark in 1960. And they are really unique. It’s a natural formation (hoodoo) which attracts tourists from all over the world. It is considered that such pyramids were formed because of the soil erosion. The Pyramids of Melnik are in process of their formation and their form is changing in the course of time. Besides pyramidal form the formations have the form of cones, needles, mushrooms and others. The height of the pyramids is up to 100 m. It is typical of them that their slopes are sandy, sometimes absolutely vertical, and there are grasses and plants growing on the top.
