Ústí nad Labem District borders Germany in the north. The terrain is very varied—mostly hilly except in the west, and divided by the Elbe river valley. The territory extends into four geomorphological mesoregions: Central Bohemian Uplands (most of the territory), Most Basin (west), Ore Mountains (north) and Elbe Sandstone Mountains (a small part in the northeast with the Tisá Rocks). The highest point of the district is the mountain Rudný vrch in Telnice with an elevation of 796 m (2,612 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Elbe in Povrly at 130 m (430 ft).
From the total district area of 404.8 km2 (156.3 sq mi), agricultural land occupies 179.7 km2 (69.4 sq mi), forests occupy 134.3 km2 (51.9 sq mi), and water area occupies 10.5 km2 (4.1 sq mi). Forests cover 33.2% of the district's area.[1]
The most important river is the Elbe, which drains the entire territory. The Bílina flows into the Elbe in Ústí nad Labem. The largest body of water is Lake Milada, an extensive artificial lake created by flooding mine.
There are two protected landscape areas: České Středohoří that extends into the district in the south and east, and Labské pískovce that extends into the district in the northeast.
