The Municipality of Klenovnik is located some 20 km west of Varaždin. It has 2,278 inhabitants according to the 2001 census, 1,051 living in the village of Klenovnik proper.

The name of the municipality means, more or less, "a maple groove", or, more specifically, "a field maple groove", the field maple being Acer campestre, known in America as the hedge maple, in Croatian, klen.
