Geography

[edit]
Landscape around Bílina

Teplice District borders Germany in the north. The terrain is very varied – hilly in the south, rather flat in the centre, and mountainous in the north. The territory extends into three geomorphological mesoregions: Central Bohemian Uplands (most of the territory), Most Basin (a strip across the territory from west to east) and Ore Mountains (north). The highest point of the district is the mountain Pramenáč in Košťany with an elevation of 910 m (2,990 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Bílina in Rtyně nad Bílinou at 160 m (520 ft).

From the total district area of 468.9 km2 (181.0 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 162.0 km2 (62.5 sq mi), forests occupy 184.4 km2 (71.2 sq mi), and water area occupies 8.5 km2 (3.3 sq mi). Forests cover 39.3% of the district's area.[1]

The most important river is the Bílina, which flows across the territory from west to east. There are several reservoirs and artificial lakes created by flooding mines. The largest of them is Barbora with an area of 65 ha (160 acres).[3]

České Středohoří is a protected landscape area that extends into the district.
