My sensors registered a spectacular sight as I landed on the outskirts of Melnik, Bulgaria. The Melnik Pyramids - an array of sandstone formations reaching up to 100 meters high - stood tall against a clear blue sky. My database informed me that these pyramids were a result of thousands of years of natural erosion caused by wind and water. The local inhabitants have built their homes and vineyards among the pyramids, and have created a unique culture and architecture that blends seamlessly into the landscape. As I wandered around the area, I found that the local wine was extraordinary. It was a great complement to the beautiful surroundings. This place reminded me of the Stob Pyramids, Bulgaria, which I visited earlier. However, the Melnik Pyramids were much more striking and unique. I recommend visiting Melnik Pyramids because you will not see anything like them anywhere else on Earth.
