Geography edit

 
Confluence of the Elbe and Ploučnice in Děčín

Děčín District borders Germany in the north. It includes the Šluknov Hook area, surrounded by Germany on three sides. The district is a hilly and above-average forested area with several valleys and canyons. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Elbe Sandstone Mountains (northwest), Central Bohemian Uplands (south), Lusatian Mountains (east) and Lusatian Highlands (north). The highest point of the district is the mountain Pěnkavčí vrch in Dolní Podluží with an elevation of 792 m (2,598 ft), located on the district border. The lowest point, which is also the lowest point of the entire Czech Republic, is the river bed of the Elbe in Hřensko at 115 m (377 ft).

From the total district area of 908.8 km2 (350.9 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 361.9 km2 (139.7 sq mi), forests occupy 454.5 km2 (175.5 sq mi), and water area occupies 10.5 km2 (4.1 sq mi). Forests cover 50.0% of the district's area.[1]

The territory is rich in rivers. The most important river is the Elbe, which flows through the west of the territory and continues to Germany. Its most important tributary is the Ploučnice. Other notable rivers are the Kamenice, Křinice, Sebnice, and Mandava. The Spree shortly forms the Czech-German border.

There are few bodies of water in the district. The largest of them is Velký Pond with an area of 36 ha (89 acres).[3]

Most of the Děčín District is protected within some of large-scale protected areas. The most significant is Bohemian Switzerland National Park with many famous natural monuments. The protected landscape areas of České Středohoří, Labské pískovce and Lužické hory also extend into the district.
