KZ-Gedenkstatte Mauthausen

Our 2nd stop is Mauthausen, where we visit the concentration camp and dive into the sad past of the Nazi regime. An Audio-guided tour in many different languages of the facility gives you an insight into the sad camp life of the prisoners. The Mauthausen concentration camp was the largest National Socialist concentration camp in Austria from August 8, 1938 until its dissolution, after the liberation of its inmates by US troops, on May 5, 1945. Around 200,000 people were imprisoned in Mauthausen and its satellite camps, of which more than 100,000 people lost their lives.

To banish the gloomy thoughts, we want to put some joy in your face with the last stop in the medieval town of Dürnstein, located in the most beautiful section of the Danube valley, the Wachau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also Austria's most famous wine-growing region. We enter the village through the archway of the city walls and take time to see the old buildings and shops, take photos and taste local delicacies such as wines, liqueurs and sweets. Beautiful photo motifs are the old town hall, which is often booked for weddings from all over Austria, the Dürnstein Abbey, whose history begins with the consecration of Mary's chapel in 1372 and the view from the fortress to the city and the river Danube. We can also hike the Lionheart Trail to the fortress ruins and learn about the history of England's most famous King, Richard 1st, the Lionheart, who was held here as a prisoner on his way back from the Crusades.
