The village of Valdorf is located south of Horšovský Týn near the Podháj hill. The road connecting Němčice and Horšovský Týn divides it into two parts: Dolní (Lower, in the west) and Horní (Upper, in the east) Valdorf.
Dolní Valdorf is located at the foot of the Podháj hill on the Podhájský stream. It consists of several cottages that stand by the pond. In the middle of the village, there is a crossroads, the neogothic[5] chapel of the Holy Family, and the wayside shrine. A green tourist route connecting Horšovský Týn and Domažlice passes through Dolní Valdorf from north to south.
Horní Waldorf is located on the opposite side of the hill. A path passes through its center and climbs up to elevation 447, where the cross is located. Most of the buildings are scattered along this road. Below this part, there are three ponds in the valley on the stream.
Between the individual built-up parts, there are fields and meadows, and at the crossing of the roads there is a cross, there is a factory of spreading materials.
