Geographical Location
Chvaleč lies on the northern edge of the Rtyně-Svatoňovice Basin, in the immediate vicinity of the Czech-Polish border. The Czech-Polish border runs across the 697-metre-high Janský vrch, which is crossed by an educational trail.
Trails and Springs
The Chvaleč–Petříkovice educational trail is an approximately 6 km circular route that begins at the car park by the swimming pool in Petříkovice. It passes the spring beneath the rocks and continues to the so-called Krausova vyhlídka, a remarkable rock formation. The stopping points describe local sights as well as the local flora and fauna.
The drinkable mineral water from the spring beneath Janský vrch was already known for its beneficial effects during the time of Austria-Hungary. Thanks to careful construction work, it has preserved its unique composition to this day.

The Church of Saint James the Greater in Chvaleč dates from 1706 and is listed as a protected cultural monument.
