Český Jiřetín occupies a mountain valley near the headwaters of the Flöha River on the Czech–German frontier in the Ore Mountains of Ústí nad Labem Region. The settlement lies amid the high, forested uplands that form the border between Bohemia and Saxony, far from the industrial lowlands around Most. Fláje Reservoir, an important drinking-water reservoir above the village, was built between 1958 and 1963 and gives the area a distinct upland character. Český Jiřetín is also known for its ski area, with a chairlift and slopes for winter recreation; walkers and cyclists use the surrounding terrain in warmer months. The border crossing towards Deutscheinsiedel reflects this part of the mountains’ close connection with Saxony.
