Full description
Mauthausen is one of the most important WWII memorial sites in Europe. Travel from Salzburg to the Mauthausen Memorial with Rosotravel by private vehicle, supported by an audio guide in 12 languages. Book your place today.

Book a 6-hour tour and travel from Salzburg to the Mauthausen Memorial by private vehicle. The site sits on a hill above the Danube, about an hour from the city. What you find there stays with you. Between 1938 and 1945, around 190,000 people were imprisoned here. At least 90,000 died. It was one of the harshest camps in the Nazi system — and one of the last to be liberated. Much of the site still stands today, deliberately preserved so that nothing is forgotten.

Your audio guide in 12 languages leads you through at your own pace. You will walk past the original camp walls, down to the granite quarry and the Stairs of Death, and through the permanent exhibition in the former infirmary — built around original objects, photographs, and recorded survivor testimonies. The preserved gas chamber and crematoria are still standing. The memorial park holds monuments from dozens of nations. It is a place that asks something of you, and gives a great deal in return.

Book your place today and make the journey to one of Europe's most important sites of remembrance.
