I admit to never having heard of Mauthausen before planning our trip to Germany and Austria. Auschwitz, Dachau, Bergen-Belsen, Treblinka, and many others, yes. But not Mauthausen, the last concentration camp to be liberated. I did a bit of research before going, but after our visit there, I found this account of an American officer confined there only shortly before... More

Great tour, very informative. Sad but a site to see. You will learn more than you know. Definitely recommend if you're in town

I was going to Linz and before going in a city that was choosen by Hitler to become his art town I was compelled to visit at least one of these horror surrounding the city the place has many fist in your stomach as the shower room, and the crematory..the silent and the quiet around gives you the creeps and...

Well worth a visit because we should be reminded of our history 'lest we forget'. Very disturbing place but really should be experienced.... On a lighter note, the ponds at the bottom of the quarry are teaming with wildlife :-)

Even though one will be affacted for some time by what one sees and feels, this is a place all should go to once in their lives. The camp looks like it was build yesterday and during walking there one feels something beyond imagination has happened there. Guess it is one of the best preserved camps.

This is a must see in a lifetime, very quiet not many tourists and a nice but uphill bike ride from Mauthausen, Be respectful how you ask for directions here as its not advertised hugely and understandably so, First stop pick up a voice recorder, walk around. Split up your group take it all in, separately worked best for us.... More
