Domaša, often called the 'Green Pearl of Eastern Slovakia,' is a large reservoir situated in the Ondava Highlands. It is celebrated for its exceptional water clarity and a striking emerald hue, a result of the surrounding dense beech and oak forests. The lake is divided into five main recreation zones: Dobrá, Poľany, Holčíkovce, Tišava, and Nová Kelča. Dobrá is popular for its lively vibe and services, while Tišava is a favorite for camping and families. A standout landmark is the Baroque-Classical church in Nová Kelča, which stands uniquely on the shoreline. The lake is a prime destination for windsurfing, sailing, and swimming, with water temperatures remaining pleasant throughout the summer. The surrounding terrain is excellent for moderate hiking and cycling. Local eateries serve traditional Prešov-region specialties and fresh freshwater fish.
