Geography

[edit]
Nový Jičín and surrounding landscape

The terrain is very varied. While the axis of the territory is formed by a lowland, in the north it turns into highlands and in the south it turns into mountains. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Nízký Jeseník (north), Moravian Gate (centre), Moravian-Silesian Foothills (centre), and Moravian-Silesian Beskids (south). The highest point of the district is the mountain Radhošť in Trojanovice with an elevation of 1,129 m (3,704 ft). The lowest point of the district is the river bed of the Oder in Jistebník at 221 m (725 ft).

From the total district area of 881.9 km2 (340.5 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 558.3 km2 (215.6 sq mi), forests occupy 203.9 km2 (78.7 sq mi), and water area occupies 18.5 km2 (7.1 sq mi). Forests cover 23.1% of the district's area.[1]

The most important river is the Oder, which flows across the district from west to east. Its most important tributaries in the district are the Jičínka and Bílovka. The Oder river valley is rich in ponds, otherwise there are not many bodies of water.

The southern part of the territory is protected as the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area. The central part of the territory along the Oder River is protected as the Poodří Protected Landscape Area.
