Our walk today starts from the village of Stob, which is located 100 kilometers south of Sofia. The road is nice all the time, and before you take the path to the pyramids in question, there is a parking lot. Be prepared for a gentle climb that lasts about 30-40 minutes before you catch a glimpse of these natural formations. The walk is pleasant and completely suitable for people of all ages, it is about a kilometer long. The Stob pyramids are one of the phenomena of Rila and attract many tourists every year. In fact, the visit can be combined with a delicious meal or a night in a hotel, because there is a lot to see, and if you are coming from afar, you will hardly be able to walk so many kilometers. Rila mountain is very diverse, there is diversity as they say! Today in #theclashers I will show you several sides of it, but unfortunately I didn't manage to photograph the Rila Monastery. Otherwise, we continue with #Stob and the unique #pyramids, which will surely impress many of you. The village of #Stob is right next to #Rilskimanastir and #pyramids can be taken in one day. This is a great idea for a family holiday and a trip with friends. There is a restaurant in the parking lot that serves food.
Now, when we say the word pyramids, the ones from Giza or those left to us by the Mayans in South America immediately come to mind. The Stob pyramids are a natural formation in which there is no human intervention. I say this so that you don't have any grandiose expectations and you might not see a mummy. When you reach the first site, however, you will realize that they are no less beautiful than the pyramids of Egypt, although they have nothing in common. The very fact that nature has sculpted these unique shapes over many years will leave you speechless. On the northern ridge, the shapes are significantly fewer, but they stand out much better. In the southern one, their quantity is greater and they are denser. Some of these pyramids reach up to 12 meters in height. In shape, they can be needle-like and sharp, others conical and irregular. On some of them, a stone cap with dimensions of about a meter can be observed and thus resemble huge mushrooms.
Our journey today will also pass through the Bohemia Ecopath! A more unconventional and little-known destination for #travel with the family. Definitely if you have time you can spare an hour and visit it, it will certainly be worth the trip. Then go to the Rila Monastery. The three destinations, together with the Stob Pyramids, can be taken in one day with better time management. It's a good idea to have travel insurance, although it's not mandatory!
