Geography
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]
