Geography

Jistebnice and surrounding landscape

Most of the territory is characterized by an undulating landscape that turns into the tectonic depression in the south. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Tábor Uplands (west and centre), Vlašim Uplands (north), Křemešník Highlands (east) and Třeboň Basin (south). The highest point of the district is the hill Batkovy in Pohnání with an elevation of 724 m (2,375 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Lužnice in Bechyně at 354 m (1,161 ft).

From the total district area of 1,326.4 km2 (512.1 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 776.7 km2 (299.9 sq mi), forests occupy 390.9 km2 (150.9 sq mi), and water area occupies 45.5 km2 (17.6 sq mi). Forests cover 29.5% of the district's area.[1]

The territory is rich in watercourses and ponds. The most important river is the Lužnice, which flows into the territory in the south, flows through it and turns to the southwest. In the south, the Nežárka flows into it. The area of the Třeboň Basin is known for its fishpond system, including the Horusický Pond, which is the second largest pond in the country with an area of 415 ha (1,030 acres). There are also many ponds in the rest of the district territory.

A small part of the protected landscape area of Třeboňsko extends into the district in the south.
