The villages of Lhotka u Berouna, Libečov, Malé Přílepy and Podkozí are administrative parts of Chyňava.
Chyňava is located about 7km (04miles) north of Beroun and 17km (11miles) west of Prague. It lies in the Křivoklát Highlands. The highest point is the Pelechovka hill at 471m (1,545feet) above sea level. The Loděnice River flows along the northern municipal border.
The first written mention of Chyňava is from 1341. From 1357 to 1585, the village was part of the Karlštejn estate and shared its owners and destiny. During the Hussite Wars, Chyňava suffered and the population decreased. From 1585, Chyňava belonged to the Křivoklát estate. During the Thirty Years' War, Chyňava was heavily damaged and the population decreased significantly again, but the village slowly recovered.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Chyňava is the Church of Saint Procopius. It was originally a medieval church, which was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1779–1782 and then in the neo-Baroque style in 1914.[3]
