The Okres Semily (German: Semil District ) was a regional authority in Liberecký kraj (Reichenberg region) in the Czech Republic . The Okresy were roughly comparable with the districts in Germany, the district administrations were dissolved on December 31, 2002 . The district is located in the south-eastern part of northern Bohemia and extends from the Bohemian Paradise to the Giant Mountains .

73,882 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019) live on 699 km² in 65 municipalities and 208 districts, nine of which are cities in which 60% of the population lives. What is special about the district is that it is not the town of Semily that has the most inhabitants, but Turnov .

A total of 17,000 companies are registered in the district. Industry still plays the biggest role. The textile industry that was once predominant today hardly plays a role in contrast to mechanical engineering, the food and glass industries. 51% of the population are gainfully employed, gross wages are below the average for the district and the state, and unemployment is 6.5%.

Tourism is an important year-round source of income. Krkonoše with the recreation centers Harrachov , Benecko , Rokytnice nad Jizerou , Vysoké nad Jizerou are not only winter sports areas, but also venues for international sporting events. Český Ráj is a nature reserve with rare plants and historical buildings such as the medieval Trosky Castle with the legendary Kozákov Mountain, a place where precious stones were found. The sandy rocky landscapes, an Eldorado for climbers, are also typical of Český ráj . The Bozkovské jeskyně (Bozkov Dolomite Caves ) are a world rarity .
