Malka Stoblenitsa (1,009 m) is a peak in the Golo Bardo mountain, north-west of Golema Stoblenitsa peak (1,040 m) and about 11.5 km south-east of Pernik.
Golo Bardo stretches for about 25 km from north-west to south-east, between the Pernik and Radomir basins. To the south-east the uppermost course of the Struma separates it from Vitosha, and south of the village of Bosnek the two mountains meet at a saddle 933 m high. The crest lies at 1,000–1,100 m, and the slopes are gentle and bare of forest.
The mountain is built of Triassic limestone, dolomite and marl, with surface and underground karst and many karst springs around its edges. Its highest point is Vetrushka peak (1,158 m), about 3 km south-west of Pernik. The sources describe no route to Malka Stoblenitsa itself.
