Back then I walked from Mojstrana over Triglav to the sea. I was 19 years old with full fitness because I was actively involved in sports. I had everything I needed with me: tent, stove etc. All together it weighed more than 30 kg. For the trail from Mojstrana to Ankaran I needed nine days. But I also did part of the trail that's only listed in the opposite direction. I went from Dovška baba where I started at 7am to Stol where I arrived at 5pm. Just for comparison.

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.
