We made a boat trip from Gmunden to Traunkirchen and could admire this unique place during hours. The Traunstein is impressive and the (after COVID-lockdown) very quiet lake was highly appreciated.

KZ-Gedenkstatte Mauthausen

Reviewed By Holz64 - Dunedin, New Zealand

This is a very poignant reminder of the atrocities that were committed and why we must ensure nothing of this kind ever happens again. The atmosphere is very somber and the exhibits can be overwhelming. Take your time and please be respectful, people died here. I don’t think you can fully appreciate a place like this until you have been here. I personally think you need to explore this at your own pace with the audio guide as opposed to a guided tour, so you can choose what you do and don’t want to see.

I was looking for the "Schlosshotel Orth" which I know from the TV. It's a really nice place you should visit. It's not a hotel in real live but an event location.

Mariendom

Reviewed By wolfgangw396 - Zurich, Switzerland

Architecture and its furnishings - two organs, magnificent altar, magnificent pulpit, remarkable glass windows, etc. - it is rightly a wonderful landmark of the city of Linz. As it is sizewise the largest Gothic church in Austria, even bigger than the Stephansdom in Vienna, a definite must see. And take a while to enjoy the magnitude.
