Ratkovci ({{IPA|sl|ˈɾaːtkɔu̯tsi|pron}}; {{langx|hu|Rátkalak}}) is a small village in the Municipality of Moravske Toplice in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia.[http://www.moravske-toplice.si/ Moravske Toplice municipal site]

Geography

The population is scattered along the valley of Ratkovci Creek ({{langx|sl|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.{{Cite journal |last1=Ellis Burnet |first1=Julia |last2=Ribeiro |first2=Daniela |last3=Liu |first3=Wei |date=January 2021 |title=Transition and Transformation of a Rural Landscape: Abandonment and Rewilding |journal=Sustainability |language=en |volume=13 |issue=9 |pages=5130 |doi=10.3390/su13095130 |issn=2071-1050|doi-access=free }} The farms are small, with honey production and dairying being the main economic activities.
