Vyber sa po stopách minulosti hradu Šomoška, ktorý sa nachádza v bezprostrednej blízkosti slovensko-maďarskej štátnej hranice pri obci Šiatorská Bukovinka.
Zrúcanina jedného z najmalebnejších slovenských hradov stojí na čadičovom brale. Vybudovali ho z netradičných šesťbokých čadičových stĺpov, ktoré boli ťažené priamo v hradnom kopci. Pri ťažbe sa odkryl aj unikátny kamenný vodopád. V blízkosti vodopádu môžeme navštíviť aj tzv. kamenné more – veľkú plochu uprostred lesa tvorenú len kameňmi.
