Geography
The territory of the district forms an atypical shape, surrounding Prague from the east. From north to south, the territory measures about 80 km (50 mi), but at its narrowest point it is only 3 km (2 mi) wide. The landscape is rather flat and agricultural, only the southeast is more hilly and forested. It extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Central Elbe Table (north), Prague Plateau (northwest and central parts), Benešov Uplands (south) and Jizera Table (small northernmost part). The highest point of the district is the hill Pecný in Ondřejov with an elevation of 545 m (1,788 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Elbe in Záryby at 165 m (541 ft).
From the total district area of 755.5 km2 (291.7 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 476.1 km2 (183.8 sq mi), forests occupy 169.9 km2 (65.6 sq mi), and water area occupies 12.2 km2 (4.7 sq mi). Forests cover 22.5% of the district's area.
The most important river is the Elbe, which flows through the northern part of the district. The Vltava briefly forms the district border in the northwest. The territory is rather poor in bodies of water, the exception is a set of eight ponds on the Jevanský Stream. The largest of them is Jevanský Pond with an area of 22.5 ha (56 acres).
There are no large-scale protected areas.
