Šomoška National Nature Reserve

Lučenec District, Slovakia · built 1954

Šomoška stone waterfall (Slovak: Kamenný vodopád, Hungarian: A somoskői bazaltorgonák) is a natural feature, also known as a rock or stone waterfall, located in southern Slovakia, approximately 12 kilometers south of the town of Fiľakovo, in the Cerová vrchovina Protected Landscape Area. The rock waterfall is located on a hill next to the Šomoška Castle, where it was accidentally discovered during the re-construction of the gothic castle. Parts of the stone waterfall were used during the building of the castle walls. Basalt structures like the Šomoška rock waterfall are considered a rarity in Europe.
