Around two thirds of the district belonged to the fertile plateaus of Central Saxony at an altitude of 260 to 300 m. The highest point of the district (340 m) was in the Rümpfwald. The Zwickauer Mulde flowed through the district from south-east to north-west in a 1 to 2 km wide valley. The deepest point was at Wolkenburg (208 m).
