The park lies on the Sedmihoří highlands between Horšovský Týn and Bor, a mainly forested depression ringed on its south, west and north sides by eleven peaks, the highest being Racovský vrch at 619 m and Chlum at 610 m.

The name Sedmihoří means "seven mountains", yet the park's wooded depression is ringed by eleven peaks on its southern, western and northern sides. The highest are Racovský vrch at 619 m and Chlum at 610 m. The name thus does not match the actual count of summits.
The park is accessible year-round, though trails change with the seasons in terms of conditions and mud levels. Sturdy footwear is important since paths cross peat bogs and climb over rocky sections.
