Geography

[edit]
Landscape around Lovosice

Most of the territory is flat and has an agricultural character, but the north is hilly. The territory extends into three geomorphological mesoregions: Lower Ohře Table (south), Central Bohemian Uplands (north) and Ralsko Uplands (east). The highest point of the district is the mountain Milešovka in Velemín with an elevation of 837 m (2,746 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Elbe in Prackovice nad Labem at 143 m (469 ft). A dominant feature of the southern part of the district is the Říp Mountain.

From the total district area of 1,032.4 km2 (398.6 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 731.5 km2 (282.4 sq mi), forests occupy 170.2 km2 (65.7 sq mi), and water area occupies 18.8 km2 (7.3 sq mi). Forests cover 16.5% of the district's area.[1]

The most important rivers are the Elbe and its tributary Ohře, which drain the entire territory. The largest body of water is Žernosecké Lake, an artificial lake created by flooding sandstone quarry. However, there are only a few bodies of water.

České Středohoří is a protected landscape area that extends into the district.
