Doksy occupies a forested, sandy plain beside Máchovo jezero in the Mácha Region of Liberecký kraj. Despite its name, Máchovo jezero is a large pond created on the orders of Charles IV in the 14th century; its wooded shores and open water have long shaped the town’s summer identity. The lake was later named for the Czech Romantic poet Karel Hynek Mácha, whose work is closely associated with this part of northern Bohemia. The Gothic ruins of Bezděz Castle rise nearby on a twin-peaked hill, adding a striking historic landmark to the area.
