Mass grave

Tuncovec is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Municipal Dump Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče pod komunalno deponijo) 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][4]
