The district is located between Dresden and the Czech Republic. In the southwestern part of the district the easternmost part of the Erzgebirge ("Ore Mountains") is found, the southeastern part of the district is named Saxon Switzerland, which is part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The main river of the district is the Elbe. The district borders (from the west and clockwise) the districts of Mittelsachsen and Meißen, the urban district Dresden, the district of Bautzen, and the Czech Republic.
