Lake Mácha near the town of
Doksy is an important regional centre for leisure, attracting around 30,000 visitors annually. The vicinity of the lake has a caravan park and hosts an annual music festival called '''', which was attended by approximately 8,000 people in 2013. Since the region was for a long time part of the
Holy Roman Empire, and later (in 1938–1945) the major part of the region was a part of
Germany as part of
Sudetenland, the local buildings and the culture in general have been influenced by the
Germans, also considering the fact that parts of the region were populated by a majority of
Sudeten Germans, prior to their
expulsion after World War II. ==Transport==
