Mushroom Rocks — Attraction in Kardzhali

The Stone Mushrooms are one of natures true miracles. Arriving at the sight you will found yourself surrounded by hills and forests. Looking at the Stone Mushrooms from the road may seem surreal. Once you go near them and realize in complete surprise their actual size you will for sure think that there must have been some human involvement in their development, or even alien. The fact that the Stone Mushrooms were formed simply by the wind is almost unbelievable. This sight is truly mesmerising and most definitely worth visiting. You will find yourself admiring natures force.Nature has provided us with this amazing creation, but it is up to us to preserve it the way it is. Due to the quite inconvenient location of the Stone Mushrooms people with disabilities might find it hard if not impossible to visit. There is no assigned parking, and as the sight is in between to curves stopping is at your own risk. The sight is definitely not wheelchair accessible! I truly hope that the party responsible for the sight will address these issues in the near future, making it possible for more people to experience this natural formation and...

Намира се на главния път между Хасково и Кърджали. Една бърза фото спирка, която си заслужава и се разглежда за около 5 мин. Лeгeндaтa зa Kaмeннитe гъби рaзĸaзвa зa въглищapя Paдyил, ĸoйтo имaл 4 дъщepи. Moмичeтaтa веднъж тpъгнaли зa вoдa, нo били пoдгoнeни oт гpyпa paзбoйници. Дeвoйĸитe изплaшили ĸoня нa вoдaчa, ĸoйтo пaднaл нa зeмятa и бил стъпкан от него и нападнат oт мoмичeтaтa.

Зaмaxнaл и пoĸocил дpyгитe cecтpи, нo ce пoвтopилo cъщoтo.

Ако не си говорим за легенди, а география, то сĸaлнитe oбpaзyвaния ca ce изгpaдили в pиoлитoви вyлĸaнични тyфи. Tyфитe ca peзyлтaт oт интeнзивнa пoдвoднa вyлĸaничнa дeйнocт.

Скалата е доста чуплива и въпреки, че пише да не се качват туристите по тях, това се случва и може скоро да нямаме възможността да им се радваме.

Та... не губите...

蘑菇石，位於 Beli Plast 村以東，在連接 Kardzhali 和 Haskovo 的道路上。 保護區總面積3公頃。 它被 1974 年 5 月 13 日的第 1427 號命令宣佈為自然地標。 岩層具有天然蘑菇的形狀——它們的莖是粉紅色的，帽子是綠色的。 菌柄高度和菌蓋寬度可達2.5米。 它們由流紋岩火山凝灰岩製成，這是可追溯到古新世的強烈水下火山活動的結果。 在海水撤退和海床持續上升之後，侵蝕的影響變得可見。 較低的粉紅色層被證明更柔軟，更容易受到陽光、風和雨的影響。 上面的綠色層含有固體礦物質，主要是火山玻璃，因此更難風化。 幾千年來，形成了獨特的形狀和顏色的奇妙組合。

The stone mushrooms are rock formations, located east of the village of Beli Plast, at the road, connecting Kardzhali with Haskovo. The protected site has a total area of 3 hectares. It was declared a natural landmark by Order No 1427 of 13 May 1974. The rock formations have the shape of natural mushrooms – their stalks are pink, and the caps are green. The height of the mushroom stalks and the width of the caps are up to 2.5 meters. They are made of rhyolite volcanic tuffs, which are the result of intensive underwater volcanic activity, dating back to the Paleocene. After the sea withdrawal and the consistent seabed rising, the influence of the erosion became visible. The lower, pink layer proved to be softer and more amenable to the effects of sun, wind and rain. The upper, green layer contains solid minerals, mainly volcanic glass and it is therefore, more difficult to weather. So a wonderful combination of unique shapes and colors has formed over...
