It is mostly on the northern sides of the Kovac massif. The status of the nature park this area has since 2018. The first legal protection of the area of Cicelj dates back to 1969, when the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina placed this area under protection.
