Geography

A hilly landscape is typical for the district. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Upper Sázava Hills (most of the territory), Křemešník Highlands (southwest), Iron Mountains (northeast) and Křižanov Highlands (small part in the east). The highest point of the district is the hill Melechov in Dolní Město with an elevation of 715 m (2,346 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Doubravka in Zvěstovice at 253 m (830 ft).
From the total district area of 1,265.0 km2 (488.4 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 789.0 km2 (304.6 sq mi), forests occupy 362.3 km2 (139.9 sq mi), and water area occupies 20.2 km2 (7.8 sq mi). Forests cover 28.6% of the district's area.[ 1]
The most important river is the Sázava , which flows across the whole district from east to west. The Doubrava River flows through the northeastern part of the district. The largest body of water is the Řeka fishpond with an area of 43 ha (110 acres), built on the Doubrava River. Notable is also Švihov Reservoir , part of which lies on the western district border.
Two protected landscape areas extend into the district in the east: Iron Mountains and Žďárské vrchy .
