Sandstone pyramids, Melnik, Bulgaria


Melnik is officially the smallest town in Bulgaria, famous for tourism, its wine industry and its "sand pyramids". The "sand pyramids" surround Melnik, and are made from a yellow-white mixture of clay and sand. Centuries of erosion by wind, water and sun have sculptured some amazing natural formations.
