The location of the old church is an optimal vantage point with almost a "360-degree view"; on a clear day, some striking Alpine peaks can also be seen on the south side between the fruit trees.

The location of the old church is an optimal viewpoint with an almost "all-round view", and in good weather, some striking Alpine peaks can also be seen between the fruit trees on the south side.

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

Wonderful circular hike away from the hustle and bustle in the hilly Mühlviertel landscape. The legend of the devil (information board at the summit cross) is really brilliant, a clever farmer😜
