Jazero Beňatina
Tyrkysové jazierko vzniklo v bývalom kameňolome, kde sa našla skamenelina 5 metrov dlhej ryby, preto bolo ťažba zastavená. Zároveň došlo k zaplaveniu kameňolomu spodnou vodou a vytvoreniu jazierka, ktoré svojou scenériou pripomína Plitvické jazerá. Beňatina sa nachádza v okrese Sobrance medzi dedinami Beňatina a Inovce.
Na 10 metrov vysokých útesoch je zaujímavo sfarbený vápenec, jeho červenohnedé sfarbenie má predstavovať 5 metrov vysoký odtlačok (skamenelinu) pravekej veľryby, ktorá akoby sa vrhala hlavou dolu do vody. Väčšine ľudí to skôr pripadá ako náhodne vytvorený obraz zo sfarbeného vápenca.
Pri jazierku sa návštevníci môžu občerstviť v bufete U Veľryby na kopci.
