To the west it borders on the Pohorje Massif, to the northwest on the Drava Valley, to the north and east on the Slovene Hills, and to the southeast on the Ptuj Plain (Ptujsko polje). The far northeastern part of the municipality lies on the alluvial plain of the Drava River, and the rest lies on gravel plains.
