Questioning, you put か at the end of the sentence.

You can think of どこへ行くかはまだわからない as composed of two sentences どこへ行くか and まだ分からない the first one is a question, “where am I going?” “Where are we going?” The second one translates as “still don’t know”. In Japanese this is the way for saying “I still don’t know where we are going” In English or other languages you don’t say “I still don’t know where are we going?” But in Japanese the か is necessary since the sentences involves a question. So you can always say なにを食べてるかまだわからない I still don’t know what I am eating. なにをしてるかまだわからない I still don’t know what I’m doing

The usage is は is more subtle. In this case it is used to indicate that there are other things that you may know or may not know, but what you particularly don’t know is where you are going to. は marks the main topic -where am I going?- So, it works like saying “one particular thing that I still don’t know is where I’m going to”
