Намират се над село Стоб, в западния дял на Рила планина. Средната височина на пирамидите е между 7 и 10 метра, някои отделни пирамиди достигат до височина 12 метра. Стобските пирамиди са с разнообразна форма, но повечето са конусовидни и завършват с каменна шапка, наподобявайки гъби.

На северния склон на рида, на който са разположени пирамидите, те са по-добре изразени и открояващи се, тъй като са значително по-малко. Най-много са пирамидите на южния склон на рида. Тук пирамидите са по-големи и по-сгъстени. Цветът на скалите варира между жълто и кафяво.

През 1964 г. Стобските пирамиди са обявени за природна забележителност.

Местна легенда разказва за възникването на Стобските пирамиди: Преди много години на мястото на пирамидите се простирала голяма равнина. Когато имало сватба или друго събитие, хората от селото се стичали на мегдана и се веселели. В селото имало двама влюбени млади хора. Майката на момичето не била съгласна дъщеря ѝ да се омъжи за своя любим, но въпреки всичко момичето и момчето решили да вдигнат сватба. В момента, в който майката разбрала, отишла в равнината, забила надълбоко един голям кръст и проклела дъщеря си, когато целунесвекъра си всички гости на сватбата да се превърнат в камъни. Денят на сватбата дошъл. Всички били много щастливи, само майката си останала вкъщи и се молела горещо клетвата ѝ да застигне дъщеря ѝ. Когато хорото се извило чак до равнината и дошъл моментът булката да целуне свекъра си, в този момент всички сватбари се превърнали в камъни. От този ден в село Стоб се издигат приказни пирамиди, напомнящи за една незабравима история.

Популярна е и друга легенда, която може да бъде разказана от всеки жител на живописното село Стоб. На няколко километра в планината нагоре от пирамидите се намирало село Бозовая, разположено на няколко хълма и различни махали: Кольова, Вучкова, Топалска, Тачова, Хаджи-стоянова и др. Двама млади се залюбили и решили да се оженят. Тръгнали сватбарите надолу по пътеката към Стоб, защото само там имало подходяща християнска черква, минали през местността "Момена", стигнали до пътеката на съседния на пирамидите рид. Този рид се вижда в североизточна посока, към изгрева на слънцето. Булката обаче била толкова красива, че кумът не издържал на изкушението, погледнал я и се приближил да я целуне. В...

Well, well... if you are nearby then it's oke to visit - why not. It's total +-30minutes of experience overall for 4 leval(cash only). We all have half an hour of free time. However going there just for that 'landmark' is in my opinion not worth it. It's a... HILL with some minor cone-sand formations and 'not a great panorama' at the end. You got plenty of more HILLs around with a better view ,more intersting path to it and for free. Some sand-hills formation you may find above the town of Rila. And the name 'Pyramids' is kinda offensive to the 'Pyramids'. (It's great 'sales' trick...

The Stob Pyramids, a natural reserve, is definitely worth a visit when exploring the region in Bulgaria. The entrance fee of 3 Bulgarian Lev per person is quite reasonable considering the stunning experience it offers. The hike can be a bit steep towards the end, but there are several spots along the way to take a break and catch your breath. Once you reach the top, the view is absolutely breathtaking. The unique formations of the pyramids combined with the panoramic scenery create a truly sublime sight. Don't miss the chance to visit this natural wonder if you find yourself...

Quite pretty location, very nice view once you do the 20-30 min hike for the way up (depending on your pace) and a nice little 15-20 on the way down (depending on how fragile your knees are!). The last bit of the hike is quite tricky (even a little dangerous maybe), the path is narrow and there is a very steep drop and nothing to hold onto. We'll worth it even if you skip the last 20-30 meters (the dangerous part), beautiful spot for panoramic photos. Well worth the 3 Lev entry fee per person. Bring some water and running shoes.
