The villages of Dolní Požáry and Prosečnice are administrative parts of Krhanice.
Krhanice is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) northwest of Benešov and 20 km (12 mi) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is the hill Grybla at 514 m (1,686 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Sázava River.
The first written mention of Krhanice is from 1228, when the Ostrov Monastery in Davle owned half of the village. The second part probably belonged to the Zbořený Kostelec estate.[2]
There are no significant landmarks. The only cultural monuments are a niche chapel of Saint Joseph from the second half of the 18th century, and a homestead from 1813.[6]
