Geography
edit
The northern part of the district is relatively hilly, the southern part is flat. The territory extends into three geomorphological mesoregions: Jizera Table (most of the territory), Jičín Uplands (northeastern part) and Central Elbe Table (small southern part). The highest point of the district is the hill Mužský in Boseň with an elevation of 463 m (1,519 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Jizera in Skorkov at 170 m (560 ft).
From the total district area of 1,022.9 km2 (394.9 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 637.9 km2 (246.3 sq mi), forests occupy 266.9 km2 (103.1 sq mi), and water area occupies 14.7 km2 (5.7 sq mi). Forests cover 38.1% of the district's area.[1]
The most important river is the Jizera, which flows across the entire territory. Its longest tributary within the district is the Klenice. The western part of the district is poor in streams and bodies of water, which are mostly concentrated in the eastern part of the district. The largest bodies of water are the fishponds Komárovský (54 ha), Červenský (45 ha) and Žabakor (45 ha).[3]
Bohemian Paradise is the only protected landscape area that extends into the district, in its northeastern part.
