This quarry is easily accessible by bike without having to climb the steep incline to the Mauthausen concentration camp. From here, you can climb the Stairs of Death on foot. Unfortunately, access to the Stairs is now (June 2021) blocked off with a gate due to a lack of "modern safety standards." A rather strange argument for a place where people were deliberately put to death.

Fortunately, you can easily bypass the gate and climb the stairs in peace and with thoughts of the many murdered here.

I consider this place particularly suitable for thoughtful remembrance.
