Danube Cycle Path
When cycling along the Danube Cycle Path, you are free. You alone determine the pace, the route, and the destination. And everything in between. How beautiful it is when you even have company: from the mossy-fresh scent of the river you move alongside, to its gentle rustle and soft splashing.
From impressive landmarks that greet you from afar and invite you to take a break. From unforgettable encounters with people who live and work in this region, giving the Danube a face, a voice. And of course, from the nature that reveals itself along the cycle path and constantly changes. No section is like the next. Only the river, a constantly driving force, remains by our side.

Concentration Camp Memorial Site
The former Mauthausen concentration camp was transformed into a memorial site just a few years after the end of the war, embodying the commemorative culture of the Republic of Austria as well as victim nations. However, the locations of the former satellite camps and the Gusen subcamp were long suppressed from official memory. While the remnants of the satellite camps were removed everywhere, survivors of the camps and relatives of those who perished countered the process of suppression by erecting memorials. At their initiative, public memorial sites were established in Ebensee, Gusen, and Melk.
