Tuncovec is a settlement in the Municipality of Rogaška Slatina in eastern Slovenia. It lies east of the town of Rogaška Slatina, between Spodnje Sečovo and Brezovec pri Rogatcu. The wider area around Rogaška Slatina was traditionally part of the region of Styria. It is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]

Mass grave

Tuncovec is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Municipal Dump Mass Grave (Template:Lang-sl) is located southeast of the settlement, between the local dump and a slope next to the former bed of Teršnica Creek. The grave contains an unknown number of Croatian refugees murdered in May 1945.[3]
