The terrain is mostly flat and belongs to the Polabí region. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: East Elbe Table (most of the territory), Svitavy Uplands (south), Orlice Table (east), and Iron Mountains (southwest). The highest point of the district is a contour line in Holotín with an elevation of 398 m (1,306 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Elbe in Kojice at 201 m (659 ft).

From the total district area of 880.2 km2 (339.8 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 521.4 km2 (201.3 sq mi), forests occupy 222.2 km2 (85.8 sq mi), and water area occupies 27.1 km2 (10.5 sq mi). Forests cover 25.2% of the district's area. [1]

The most important river is the Elbe, which flows across the district from northeast to west. Its largest tributaries within the district are the Chrudimka and Loučná. There are relatively many bodies of water in the area, which are not only ponds, but also artificial lakes created by flooding gravel quarries. The largest body of water is Bohdanečský Pond with an area of 160 ha (400 acres). [3]
