In the forest close to the church a "natural healing grove" with several "energy springs," known as the Tunjice Natural Health Resort, has been established.[3]
Name
Tunjice was attested in historical sources as Tevnicz in 1306, Toͤvnicz in 1302, Tewnicz in 1397, Tewcz in 1405, and Teynitz in 1499.[4][5] The name is probably derived from the adjective *tun'e 'free, given', referring to land that was transferred as a gift.[5]
Church
The parish church, dedicated to Saint Anne, stands on a hill above the settlement and is an imposing High-Baroque domed building. It was commissioned by Peter Pavel Glavar and built from 1761 to 1766 based on plans by the architect Lovrenc Prager.[6]
