Tunjice (pronounced [ˈtuːnjitsɛ]; German: Theinitz)[2] is a dispersed settlement in the Tunjice Hills (Slovene: Tunjiško gričevje) west of the town of Kamnik in Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
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]
