Those rock formations are located east of Beli
plast village by the road connecting Kardzhali with
Haskovo. To preserve them in 1974, they were designated
as a natural monument with area of 30 decares.
They area harmonic rock pieces resembling gigantic
mushrooms with pink stumps and greenish hoods
shaped in rhyolithic volcanic tuffa. The height of the
stumps and width of the hoods reaches up to 2.5m.
The variable coloring of the mushrooms results from
the different mineral inclusions. It took millions years
continuous sun, wind and rain to shape that wonderful
composition.
A legend says that these rocks are the chopped
heads of four sisters, who refused to obey a tyrannical
master.
