Danes, 7. avgust 2024, je za Gorniško vas Dovje - Mojstrana poseben dan, saj tako v vasi, kot v Občini Kranjska Gora praznujemo občinski praznik, ki je posvečen postavitvi Aljaževega stolpa, simbola slovenstva (danes kulturnega spomenika državnega pomena) na vrhu Triglava, davnega leta 1895. Jakob Aljaž je leta 1895 kupil zemljišče na vrhu Triglava, najel kleparskega mojstra Antona Belca in z njegovo pomočjo na najvišji slovenski gori postavil stolp z napisom Aljažev stolp, kar je bil sploh prvi slovenski napis na Triglavu in njegovi okolici.
10. 8. 1896, le leto za tem, ko je dovški župnik, domoljub in vizionar v planinstvu, Jakob Aljaž, postavil stolp na vrhu Triglava in s tem simbolno zapečatil slovensko ozemlje na vrhu Očaka, je leto kasneje dal postaviti še prvi slovenski dom (kočo) pod Triglavom in jo poimenoval Triglavski dom na Kredarici (2515m). To je storil izključno iz domoljubja, saj je bil ob gradnji stolpa leto prej v Dežmanovi koči (takrat pripadala DÖAV) zavrnjen pri prenočevanju s strani oskrbnika in je želel, da tudi Slovenci dobimo lastno kočo.
Ob odprtju se je na vrh Triglava povzpelo 70 planincev. Koča je bila sprva odprta samo v poletnih mesecih, odprli so jo v prvih dneh julija, obiskovalcem pa so ponujali razne konzerve, vino, pivo, kavo, čaj in liker. S svojim delovanjem je Jakob Aljaž vznemiril nemško planinsko javnost, ki je njegovo delo poskušala izničiti s tožbami, kar jim ni uspelo, saj je dovški župnik dobil vseh šest tožb povezanih z njegovimi gradnjami na in okoli Triglava, tudi tisto, ki se je dotikala zemljišča, na katerem je ležala koča na Kredarici.
Danes smo v Gorniški vasi Dovje - Mojstrana izredno ponosni na veličastna Aljaževa dela in vsem domačinom kot tudi obiskovalcem Gorniške vasi Dovje - Mojstrana iskreno čestitamo za praznik in želimo, da se na Dovjem poklonimo našemu domoljubu in se skupaj z njim ozremo na našega Očaka.
Today, August 7th, 2024, is a special day for the Mountaineering village of Dovje - Mojstrana, as both the village and the Municipality of Kranjska Gora celebrate a municipal holiday dedicated to the installation of Aljažev Tower, a Slovenian symbol (today a cultural monument of national importance) on top of Triglav , back in 1895. In 1895, Jakob Aljaž bought land at the top of Triglav, hired the master carpenter Anton Belac and with his help erected a tower on the highest Slovenian mountain with the inscription “Aljažev stolp”, which was the first Slovenian inscription on Triglav and its surroundings.
On August 10, 1896, just one year after the pastor, patriot and visionary in mountaineering, Jakob Aljaž, erected a tower on the top of Triglav and thus symbolically sealed the Slovenian territory, a year later he had the first Slovenian hut built below Triglav and named it Triglavski dom on Kredarica (2515m). He did this purely out of patriotism, because when the tower was being built a year earlier, he was refused an overnight stay in Dežman's hut (then belonging to the DÖAV) by the caretaker, and he wanted Slovenes to get their own cottage as well.
At the opening, 70 mountaineers climbed to the top of Triglav. Initially, the hut was only open in the summer months, it was opened in the first days of July, and visitors were offered various preserves, wine, beer, coffee, tea and liquor. With his activities, Jakob Aljaž disturbed the German mountain public, who tried to nullify his work with lawsuits, which they failed to do, because the priest from Dovje won all six lawsuits related to his constructions in and around Triglav, including the one that touched the land , on which the cottage on Kredarica was located.
Today, in the Mountaineering village of Dovje - Mojstrana, we are extremely proud of the magnificent works of Aljaž and we sincerely congratulate all the locals as well as visitors of the Mountaineering village of Dovje - Mojstrana on the holiday and we want to pay our respects to our patriot and look up together with him at our “holy mountain” Triglav.
