Zbečník is located about 5 km from the border with Poland. The village lies on the border between the Broumov Highlands and Orlické Foothills. The highest point is the Maternice hill at 545 m (1,788 ft) above sea level. The 4.5 km-long brook of Zbečnický potok (a tributary of the Metuje) flows through the village. The village stretches along the main road in the Zbečnický potok valley.
The first written mention of Zbečník is from 1422. It was probably founded together with a fortress on the hill Kvikov in the 14th or 15th century.[2]
