Abstract

The paper at hand describes the life of grammar school teacher Anton Zupan, who inscribed himself in the history of Slovenian mountaineering as one of the men credited for the construction of the Prešeren Lodge on Mt. Stol before the First World War. During the war he served as an officer on the Albanian Front and afterwards returned to school. In 1926 Zupan was appointed headmaster of the Celje Grammar School. As a confirmation godfather and benefactor he also left an important mark on the future (Arch)Bishop of Ljubljana, Anton Vovk.
