It is worth remembering that magical traps do not have an expiry date. Thus, it is wise to check them regularly if they have caught someone.

The Unfortunate Thief of an Alp Cauldron

@juergen_hubert Once, many years ago, I enjoyed the best risotto ever high up in the Capanna Adula UTOE. We arrived for a summer hike to the Rheinwaldhorn and stayed overnight in the cabin. The warden cooked a risotto for around 50 people in a giant copper cauldron, with a huge wooden spoon, stirring the risotto, sweat dripping from his forehead into the cauldron. It was served with Saltimbocca veal and sage. I think we had a bottle of local Merlot wine with it. It was the best meal ever at 2300m+
We then climbed Rheinwaldhorn the day after, and hiked down the enormously long valley towards Hinterrhein. After 5-6 hours in the heat, crossing a Swiss army artillery range, we were rewarded with a working Coca Cola vending machine.
