Lake Mácha

Lake Mácha (Czech: Máchovo jezero) is a pond at Doksy in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic. With an area of 2.84 km2 (1.10 sq mi) it is the largest pond in the region and therefore is called a lake, despite its artificial origin. It is a popular summer holiday destination. It is associated with the work of the poet Karel Hynek Mácha, after whom it got its current name.
