Administrative division

Voznice consists of two municipal parts :

The initial name of the village was most likely Hvozdnice. This would mean that it was derived from the Czech word hvozd, i.e. 'forest'.

Voznice is located about northeast of Příbram and southwest of Prague. The eastern part of the municipality lies in the Benešov Uplands and the western part lies in the Brdy Highlands. The highest point is at above sea level. The village is surrounded on all sides by woods.

The first written mention of Voznice is from 1788. The village was founded by the House of Mansfeld, who owned the Dobříš estate, to which it belonged. In the interwar period of the 20th century, Voznice was a popular place for the recreation of prominent people from Prague.

The D4 motorway from Prague to Písek runs along the western municipal border.

Voznice is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a statue of St. John of Nepomuk from the first half of the 18th century.
