Geography edit

 
Landscape around Kutná Hora

The northeast of the district is rather flat with agricultural land, the southwest is dominated by hilly forested terrain. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Upper Sázava Hills (most of the territory), Central Elbe Table (north), Vlašim Uplands (small part in the southwest) and Iron Mountains (small part in the north). The highest point of the district is the hill Březina in Chlístovice with an elevation of 555 m (1,821 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Klejnárka in Hlízov at 198 m (650 ft).

From the total district area of 917.4 km2 (354.2 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 594.5 km2 (229.5 sq mi), forests occupy 219.2 km2 (84.6 sq mi), and water area occupies 17.4 km2 (6.7 sq mi). Forests cover 23.9% of the district's area.[1]

The most important rivers in the northern part of the district are the Elbe which, however, crosses the territory only briefly, and its tributary the Klejnárka River. The southern part is drained by the Sázava River. The largest bodies of water are Švihov Reservoir, although it only partially extends into the Kutná Hora District, and Vavřinecký Pond with an area of 72 ha (180 acres).

There are no large-scale protected areas.
