Drevníky is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The villages of Drhovce, Nechalov and Slovanská Lhota are administrative parts of Drevníky.
The word Czech: drevník (derived from drvo = dialectally 'wood') referred to a person who works with wood. Drevníky was a village of such people.[2]
Drevníky is located about east of Příbram and 36km (22miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is the hill Na Skalách at 460m (1,510feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Drevníky is from 1348, when the village belonged to the Příbram estate. The village was established in the forests where wood was harvested for the royal chamber. The Colloredo-Mannsfeld family were the last owners of the village before the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[4] The main landmark is the Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus with a belfry, built in 1844.[3]
