Ratkovci (pronounced [ˈɾaːtkɔu̯tsi]; Hungarian: Rátkalak) is a small village in the Municipality of Moravske Toplice in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia.[2]
The population is scattered along the valley of Ratkovci Creek (Slovene: Ratkovski potok) and the road linking Prosenjakovci with Križevci. The shallow valley is dominated by meadows with fields on gentle, sunny slopes and forests at higher elevations.[3] The farms are small, with honey production and dairying being the main economic activities. Most villagers are employed in Prosenjakovci.[4]
There is a three-story wooden belfry in the village, built in 1987 to replace an older structure.[5]
Ratkovci is the birthplace of the Hungarian Slovenian priest and writer Péter Kollár.
