Landscape

The municipal area of Hvozdec comprises a varied landscape of uplands and rolling hills on the edge of the Brdy forest massif. Drátenický rybník is the largest and most valuable body of water in the municipal area. In Mrtník, the floodplain of the Červený potok is a valuable landscape feature. At 536 m above sea level, Chlum is the area’s dominant elevation and is predominantly covered with deciduous forest; conifers are present only to a limited extent.
