Geography

[edit]
Lipník nad Bečvou and surrounding landscape

The landscape is mainly flat in the west and undulating in the east. The district is characterized by a deforested fertile landscape. The territory extends into five geomorphological mesoregions: Upper Morava Valley (west), Nízký Jeseník (north), Moravian Gate (a strip from east to centre), Moravian-Silesian Foothills (south), and Litenčice Hills (a small part in the southwest). The highest point of the district is the hill Strážná in Luboměř pod Strážnou with an elevation of 642 m (2,106 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Morava in Kojetín at 191 m (627 ft).

From the total district area of 854.4 km2 (329.9 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 584.4 km2 (225.6 sq mi), forests occupy 140.1 km2 (54.1 sq mi), and water area occupies 18.4 km2 (7.1 sq mi). Forests cover 16.4% of the district's area.[1]

The largest river is the Morava, which crosses the territory in its western part. The longest river within the district is the Bečva, which flows across the district from east to west and then joins the Morava. Around the Morava there are several ponds and artificial lakes created by flooding gravel quarries; otherwise there are not many bodies of water.

There are no large-scale protected areas.
