Lake Mácha

Lake Mácha, named after the famous Czech poet Karel Hynek Mácha, is the heart of Máchův kraj – a place where water, pine forests, sandy beaches and the silhouette of Bezděz Castle create one of the best-known recreational landscapes of the north. In summer, it attracts visitors for swimming, boat trips, walks and relaxation by the water; outside the main season, it offers a quieter atmosphere and trips through the surrounding forests.

The main gateways to the lake are Doksy and Staré Splavy, from where you can easily reach the beaches, boat piers and walking routes around the water. Popular activities include boat rides, views of Bezděz Castle, swimming, water sports and easy trips suitable for families. Those who want to experience Lake Mácha more actively can set out by bike, walk into the surrounding pine forests, or combine the visit with a trip to Bezděz Castle, Doksy or the Čtyřlístek Museum.
