It lies in the hills north of Bizeljsko. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3] It includes the hamlets of Ciglanca (in older sources also Ciglonca,[2] German: Ziegelstätte[2]), Prekošnica, Stičnica, Maslarjev Breg, Podgrad, and Sračjek.[4]
