Pozabljeni Kamnik in njegovo jezero<br>Forgotten Kamnik and Its Lake</br>

Abstract

During ethnological-folkloristic work in the Kamnik area, I often came across accounts of Kamnik or Nevlje Lake in the narratives of the local people. At the same time, encountered clearly expressed doubts regarding this tradition. This led to the explanation of the existence of the lake as early as when Christianity had spread across Slovenia. This explanation indicates new understanding of the town itself: it points to the existence of unknown Kamnik.
