location
The region shares borders with the Central Bohemian Region , the Hradec Králové , Olomouc , South Moravia and Vysočina regions . In the northeast it borders on Poland ( County Glatz ). The natural border forms part of the Eagle Mountains and the westernmost part of the Jeseníky Mountains . The hills of the Žďárské vrchy ( Saar Mountains ) and Železné hory ( Iron Mountains ) rise in the south and southeast . The fertile plain of the Elbe valley occupies the middle of the area .

The region is blessed with large reservoirs of both surface and groundwater. The water pollution, especially the Elbe and the Zwitta, is an exception. The Sečská přehrada reservoir near Chrudim , the Bohdanečský rybník ponds on the Opatovický Canal and Pastvina on the Wild Eagle are among the largest water bodies .
