The landscape park, enclosing some 851 hectares of land, was placed on the list of protected areas in 1992. It encompasses part of the Slovenske gorice hills between the Drava and Pesnica valleys, more specifically between Završka vas, Korena, Voličina and Hrastovec. It is part of so-called isolated karst, which has both above- and below-ground karst features. The isolated karst area is 1-2 kilometres wide and stretches from Duplek in the Southwest to Hrastovec in the Northeast.
