Geography
Bučovice and surrounding landscape

The district is characterized by a hilly landscape complemented by many valleys. The territory extends into five geomorphological mesoregions: Drahany Highlands (north), Litenčice Hills (west and east), Vyškov Gate (a strip between Drahany Highlands and Litenčice Hills), Ždánice Forest (south) and Dyje–Svratka Valley (small part in the west). The highest point of the district is the hill Horka in Military Training Area Březina with an elevation of 650 m (2,130 ft), the lowest point is the river bed of the Litava in Hostěrádky-Rešov at 192 m (630 ft).

There are many watercourses in the territory, but none significant. The most important rivers are the Litava (a tributary of the Svratka), which flows across the district from east to wets, and Haná, which springs here and flows to the east into the Morava. The territory is poor in bodies of water, the only notable body of water is Opatovice Reservoir with an area of 70.5 ha (174 acres).[3]

There are no large-scale protected areas.
