Mauthausen was a concentration camp located in Austria during World War II. It was one of the largest and most brutal camps in the Nazi concentration camp system. Originally established in 1938 and was primarily used for political prisoners, resistance fighters, and other "undesirables" such as Jews, homosexuals, and disabled individuals. It was known for its harsh conditions, forced labor, and high mortality rate. Prisoners at Mauthausen were subjected to extreme brutality, torture, and inhumane treatment by the guards. Many prisoners died from malnutrition, disease, exhaustion, were killed in gas chambers or other methods of execution. Mauthausen was liberated by the Allies in May 1945, but the atrocities that occurred at the camp have left a lasting impact on the survivors and their families. Today, Mauthausen serves as a memorial and museum to educate visitors about the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering the victims and survivors of Nazi persecution.

We invite you on a deeply moving journey to understand one of the darkest chapters in human history. This tour goes beyond standard facts; it connects the tragic reality of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp with the geopolitical visions born in the nearby city of Linz. While Mauthausen stands as a memorial to the victims, Linz offers the context of the perpetrators. It was here that Adolf Hitler went to school, and here that he planned the "Führer Museum," financed by stolen art and slave labor. You will see both the machinery of destruction (the Camp) and the ideological center (the City), giving you a deeper understanding of the "Why" and "How." Dealing with this history is heavy. You are in the hands of a personal team: a professional driver ensures a smooth, safe ride, allowing your historian guide to focus entirely on you—answering difficult questions and providing the space you need to reflect.

A day of light and shadow — the most difficult and the most breathtaking chapters of 20th-century history, guided with care. In the morning we visit the Mauthausen Memorial, the former concentration camp above the Danube (entry is free). Jenny, a historian by education, guides you respectfully through the granite quarry, the "Stairs of Death" and the national memorials, giving context that turns a heavy place into an essential lesson. We take this part slowly and quietly. In the afternoon the landscape changes completely as we climb to the Kehlsteinhaus — the Eagle's Nest. Pass through the marble-lined tunnel, ride the original brass elevator 124 metres up through solid rock, and step out to one of Europe's greatest alpine panoramas at 1,834 m. The contrast to the morning is exactly the point. We're honest about the day: 12–14 hours with significant driving, broken by scenic stops. Vlad drives, Jenny guides and photographs — you simply take it in.

What are people saying about Mauthausen

Sobering, enlightening experience

An indepth overview of life in this concentration camp. The horrific conditions and excruciating circumstances were revealed through excellent educational exhibits and walking through the barracks where the prisoners lived. We will never forget!

We felt it was important...

We felt it was important to visit Mauthausen while we were in Austria. It was a comfortable bus ride to the site and our guide on the bus did a good job of sharing information about Vienna and Mauthausen. Once we arrived, Adam was our tour guide. He did a wonderful job of providing information about the concentration camp, as well as the surrounding villages at the time. We felt fortunate to have had Adam as our guide.

Well managed tour

The tour van was comfortable and informative. The tour itself was respectful and educational of the time period. If you have time on your Aistrian vacation, I recommend you visit this historic piece of history.

Worth the time and money!

Clara gave a very good explanation of what to expect before we got to the concentration camp. At the camp, our guide Elena was excellent. It was a a somber day but very well worth it.

Recommended tour

This was an excellent tour. The full tour is 08:30-17:00 with a 2 hour drive to and from the site so you have about 4 hours at the site which I thought was enough. There is a 2 hour guided tour and the rest of the time is on your own and to get some lunch if you choose. A separate guide provides information on the drive to and from Mouthausen. Both guides were very good.
