Brettljause rule 8: Never order a Brettljause in a restaurant located at the top station of a cable car.

Extension 8.1 to the Bretljause rule 8: You may order a Brettljause in a restaurant located at the top station of a cable car if that restaurant is the only Bretljause provider you can reasonably reach on the same day.

Extension 8.1.1 to the Extension 8.1 to the Brettjause rule 8: No matter what, never order a Brettljause at a restaurant that misspells “Schnitzel” as “Schitzel” in its menu.

8.1.1 is something I’ve just come up with, but I still stand firmly behind the rule. Fortunately, the restaurant at the top of the Rauris’s Hochalm lift, its spelling problems aside, did not offer any Brettljause at all, allowing me to avoid any kind of dilemmas and simply walk for half an hour to the Waldalm, which did not have that sort of problems.

It did have the problem of the approaching storm, like the rest of Rauris, I guess, and it was quite interesting to eat a Brettlajuse and drink the accompanying beers while the weather around me changed from super-hot to super-windy and finally super-wet for anyone as stupid as me, the presumably waterproof jacket and an umbrella proving totally pointless.

Back to the Brettljause. It looked worse than it tasted. The thick round slice of a fatty sausage was the blandest part of the dish, while the creamy cheese that looks like nothing actually was really enjoyable. The other, thickly cut cheese was also tasty, and there was nothing industrial about the two types of Speck. Waldalm is not a farm (it is actually located very close to a ski lift that does not operate in summer), but must be getting the ingredients for its Bretljausen from a very good supplier.

In addition to a good Brettljause, later in the day I was awarded with a sight of a really nice double rainbow. It almost compensated for my wetness.
