This quarry can be easily reached by bike without having to go up the steep ascent to the Mauthausen concentration camp. From here you can walk up the death stairs. Unfortunately, the access to the stairs is now (June 2021) blocked off with a grille due to the lack of "modern safety standards". Quite a strange argument in a place where people have been deliberately put to death.
Fortunately, you can easily walk past the bars and climb the stairs in peace and quiet, thinking about the many murdered here.
I think this place is particularly suitable for thoughtful remembrance.

Today, I saw the new fence for the first time, along with the automatic gate that closes when the number of people on the stairs exceeds 300. It's encouraging that there's now an official way to climb these stairs to the memorial again. This massive and certainly very expensive security system with its many video cameras does seem a bit absurd!
