The park received official protected status in 1994, establishing formal conservation of its natural features. Additional territory was later incorporated to expand the protection across the region.
The landscape is shaped by local farmers who practice traditional agriculture, creating a patchwork of fields and meadows that supports natural diversity. This way of working the land keeps the region ecologically balanced.
The park lies in the Tábor and Milevsko administrative areas of the South Bohemian Region and in the Benešov District of the Central Bohemian Region. Its highest point, Javorová skála, reaches 722.6 m, the second-highest summit of the Tábor district. The Benešov section occupies the Sedlecko-prčická kotlina, called "Český Merán" since the late 19th century.
