点评:I WAS ATTACKED BY THE OWNER OF THE BÜRGLALM
This review is a warning to all women, especially lone travelers. I was attacked by the owner of the Bürglalm, a man whom I have since learned from locals is named Anton.
On Thursday, September 7th, I had a wonderful day spent hiking in Mühlbach with a local guide set up by their tourist office. It was only my 2nd day in Austria, and I was visiting from Sweden. As soon as I arrived in Dienten, around 4:15pm, I asked the innkeeper at Dorfstub'n, where I was staying, if there would be any alms open at 5pm (because the ski lift closes at 5pm), and she recommended the Bürglalm, speculating that they would probably be open for a while after the lift stopped running.
So, I took up the lift--it was stunningly beautiful up there--and I made it to the Bürglalm a few minutes before 5pm. There was a table of customers sitting outside, which was reassuring. I went inside to double-check that they were still open, asked the workers inside (whom I have since learned is a family) if they were open, and a very kind, blonde, young woman said, "Yes, we are open. Please sit outside and we will come to you with a menu." I sat outside next to the other customers and admired the sublimity of the sunny mountains. This beatific experience would soon disintegrate into fear and terror. I ended up only ordering a glass of wine and received the wine along with a glass of water. I never saw the server again.
Since it was not very busy, I did not want to stay long, as I didn't know when they might be closing and did not want to hold them up. So, when I saw the table next to me begin to stir, I decided to go inside to pay for my glass of wine, as well as bring in the glasses for them, trying to be as accommodating as possible. I also didn't want to end up in a foreign area alone. It was about 5:30pm at this point. Unfortunately, German is not one of the languages I speak, and English is not widely spoken in this area (one of the very reasons I chose to come to Hochkönig--it seems to have escaped American hegemony and feels culturally authentic).
I walked inside with my two empty glasses to pay, and a man was vacuuming the floor & said something to me in German. I bashfully replied, "I am so sorry, but I do not speak German." And he began shouting at me, moving aggressively toward me as he vacuumed, shouting, "GET OUT! GO! LEAVE! WE CLOSED!" I said I needed to pay, then shock began to set in, as his rage kept building, & this man, at least a foot taller than I am, proceeded to pursue me yelling at me in German and the English, "GET OUT!" There is nothing I wanted to do more than leave, yet I was being intimidated & pushed deeper into the restaurant, behind the counter, into the kitchen. He was blocking my exit, and I desperately began seeking someone's eye contact. A woman in her 60s turned the corner and busied herself with cleaning (I have since learned from locals that this is the owner's wife), and she witnessed this surreal rage and of her husband. Then, suddenly, he chased me with his vacuum, ramming it into my feet over and over, blocking my way, and striking absolute terror into my entire being. His wife, once she saw his attacking me with a vacuum, said something in German like, "Stop, go back." But it certainly was not forceful enough. He retreated, I paid the son for the wine, & escaped.
This is the scariest encounter I have ever had with a stranger. Women should be able to travel alone without being subjected to abuse. This event haunted me for the rest of my trip, & may never disappear. I immediately reported him to my innkeeper, as well as the tourist office in Dienten the following day. That is how I was able to identify the man; the woman at the tourist office pulled up a picture of the family, and asked if it was one of them. It was the owner. If he were in Sweden, he would be in jail, where he belongs.
翻译:我被 BÜRGLALM 的主人袭击了
这篇评论是对所有女性,尤其是单身旅行者的警告。我遭到了 Bürglalm 老板的袭击,后来我从当地人那里得知他的名字叫安东。
9 月 7 日星期四,我和旅游局安排的当地导游一起在米尔巴赫徒步旅行,度过了美好的一天。这只是我在奥地利的第二天,我是从瑞典来的。下午 4:15 左右,我一抵达迪恩滕,就询问我住的 Dorfstub'n 旅馆的老板下午 5 点是否有开放的施舍(因为滑雪缆车下午 5 点关闭),她推荐了Bürglalm 推测电梯停止运行后它们可能会开放一段时间。
于是,我乘电梯——那里美得令人惊叹——下午 5 点前几分钟我到达了布尔格拉姆 (Bürglalm)。外面有一桌顾客坐着,这让人放心。我进去仔细检查了一下它们是否还在营业,问里面的工作人员(我后来知道他们是一家人)是否营业,一位非常友善的金发年轻女子说:“是的,我们营业了。请坐在外面,我们会给您提供菜单。”我坐在外面,旁边是其他顾客,欣赏着阳光明媚的山脉的壮丽景色。这种幸福的经历很快就会分解为恐惧和恐惧。我最终只点了一杯酒,并收到了酒和一杯水。我再也没有见过服务器。
因为不是很忙,所以我不想呆太久,因为我不知道他们什么时候关门,也不想耽误他们。所以,当我看到旁边的桌子开始骚动时,我决定进去付酒钱,并把酒杯拿进来,尽量表现得友善一些。我也不想独自一人去异国他乡。此时已是下午 5 点 30 分左右。不幸的是,德语不是我说的语言之一,英语在这个地区也没有被广泛使用(这也是我选择来到上柯尼希的原因之一——它似乎摆脱了美国的霸权,感觉文化真实)。
我带着两个空杯子走进去付钱,一个男人正在用吸尘器吸地板,并用德语对我说了些什么。我害羞地回答:“很抱歉,我不会说德语。”他开始对我大喊大叫,一边用吸尘器吸尘,一边凶猛地向我走来,大喊:“滚出去!走!离开!我们关门了!”我说我需要付钱,然后震惊开始出现,因为他的愤怒不断增强,这个人,至少比我高一英尺,继续追赶我,用德语和英语对我大喊,“滚出去! ”除了离开,我什么也不想做,但我却被吓倒了,被推到餐厅深处,柜台后面,厨房里。他挡住了我的出口,我拼命地寻求有人的目光接触。一名60多岁的妇女转过街角,忙着打扫卫生(后来我从当地人那里得知,这是业主的妻子),她亲眼目睹了丈夫的超现实愤怒。然后,突然,他用他的真空追赶我,一遍又一遍地把它撞到我的脚上,挡住我的去路,给我的整个存在带来绝对的恐惧。他的妻子一看到他用真空吸尘器攻击我,就用德语说了一些类似“停下来,回去”之类的话。但它肯定还不够有力。他撤退了,我付了儿子酒钱,然后就逃走了。
这是我与陌生人遭遇过的最可怕的一次。妇女应该能够独自旅行而不会受到虐待。这件事在我余下的旅行中一直困扰着我,而且可能永远不会消失。我立即向我的旅店老板以及第二天的迪恩滕旅游局报告了他的情况。这就是我能够辨认出这个人的方式;旅游局的那位女士拿出一张这家人的照片,并询问这是不是他们中的一个。原来是店主。如果他在瑞典,他就会被关进监狱,那是他所属的地方。
