Death staircase: An 11-hour working day under the supervision of a kapo in the quarries was fatal. A prisoner who collapsed on the so-called death staircase under the weight of the heavy stones was plunged down the steep walls of the quarry, the "parachuting" in SS jargon.

I don't know - a cyclist in front of the Stairs of Death (photo by Martin T.) - ridden or pushed - it doesn't matter - a bicycle has no place in a place like this!!!
Here, where so many people have lost their lives... - I would never push a bicycle across a cemetery either.
The quarry is a place of remembrance and devotion that deserves to be treated with respect.

The "Stairs of Death" at the Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial, closed since 2018, is once again freely accessible. According to ORF, the staircase connecting the former Mauthausen concentration camp with the adjacent "Wiener Graben" quarry has been open to visitors – at their own risk – since April 1, 2025.
