マウトハウゼンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Can be easily combined with a visit to the memorial in Gusen: https://www.gusen-memorial.org/

A good place to take a break. A little further on, there's an opportunity to refresh yourself in the Danube.

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!

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. https://ooe.orf.at/stories/3299601/ https://www.mauthausen-memorial.org/de

Here you have a beautiful panoramic view

Nice place for a rest, great view of the Danube and Enns

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.
