Dubá (German: Dauba) is a town in the Czech Republic. It has a population of around 1,800. The nearby lake of Nedamov acts as an attractive destination for tourists (mostly German and Czech).

History

Until 1918, the town was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the DAUBA district, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[1] From 1938 to 1945 it was one of the municipalities in Sudetenland.
