Zbečník stretches along the main road through the Zbečník stream valley and adjoins the town of Hronov, to the east. The stream flows through the village and joins the river Metuje at Hronov. To the north of the village is , a mountain that rises 567 meters above sea level.
The oldest known written evidence of Zbečník dates to the 15th century, where the (now defunct) fortress of Quicken is mentioned, located on a hill above Zbečník. As Zbečník is in a valley it experiences greater climatic extremes than nearby towns and villages. It is prone to colder winter temperatures, often dropping to -20 °C and to summer days exceeding 30 °C.
