Hello
On the top of our highest mountain there lay for almost half a century a real railway wood stove. It was chained to the Triglav stamp, inside it was the logbook stored. People stamped their transfer booklets on it, but few noticed it at all - few really realized it was a stove (although it was obvious).
It's unclear how and why it got to the top of the mountain. It weighed over 70 kg and appeared sometime shortly after the end of WWII.
In 1997 they took it down by helicopter to the valley and put a metal table in its place.
Where is this old stove now? What happened to it? Maybe someone knows? It would be a shame if it ended up in the scrapyard, right?

Looks like you could heat up tea there back in the day, now you just get a cold beer for 5€. I heard they even had otters with them so they could be higher than 2864m. Does anyone know what else they carried up?

I heard that a group of hikers aged 20 to 25 roasted corn on the summit. They had some firewood with them and of course corn.
Or Tof with a motorcycle from Trenta to the top...

Also three cyclists of Kranjska Sava were in the 70s on the top in full gear and with bikes.

Yes, Czechs come up with many stupid ideas. What will they carry to the top next?

Yesterday I watched a TV show about Triglav and they said that Tof carried a 12m high lojtra to the top, which he climbed. But he himself said he didn't go quite to the top with the motorcycle.

If you haven't found out who brought the stove to Triglav I can tell you it was Joža Jakelj jr. - Jozl from Mojstrana. He lived in the house where Triglav Museum - inn Peričnik is today. It was a 100 kg heavy stove which he carried to Triglav in several stages for a bet. He was an extremely strong man; according to testimonies he loaded 4-meter spruce logs onto a cart by himself. He also participated in building Staničeva koča where he supposedly carried 14 tons of building material and iron doors which can still be seen today. He died in the partisans in '45 at Otlica aged 38. I don't know where the stove is today; I thought they threw it over the edge. I also asked alpinists who know the area under Triglav better but they didn't know the answer. Someone found only the star that was on the tower during a rescue operation.
