The Nevljica is a river in the Municipality of Kamnik, Slovenia. It comes out below Kozjak Hill (737 m, near Črni Vrh v Tuhinju) and flows through the Tuhinj Valley. It also flows through the village of Nevlje.
Many bones of an ice age mammoth were found by the Nevljica River in Nevlje in 1938. These bones, remains of a reindeer and one small Paleolithic tool made of stone, were all found at this site and were dated to around 20,000—18,000 B.C.. A bridge built at this spot was named Mammoth Bridge (Slovene: Mamutov most). Old people in the village still remember the excavations, which even attracted researchers and scientists from abroad, and they tell this story to their grandchildren.
