Brückmühle Farm Shop No 19

Highlight • Structure

The Steininger family lives here and specializes in the production of products made from the aronia berry. In the farm shop they offer an abundance of products from the region. Great emphasis is placed on regionalism and organic quality. The last two apple snakes were waiting for me!
And trust also plays a big role in sales!
Today (9/12/21) I met the family at the end of the pressing phase. A large mountain of mash is evidence of many liters of good juice!
A friendly and committed family with attractive products.

Abwinden-Asten Power Plant and Lock

Highlight • Monument

You can watch ships passing the lock. Its nice to bike the Southside of the Danube until Mauthausen and there to take the small ferry to again cross to the Northside. BUT watch out the times, when the ferry is running! Only in summer.

Todesstiege and Quarry at Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

This quarry is easily accessible by bike without having to climb the steep incline to the Mauthausen concentration camp. From here, you can climb the Stairs of Death on foot. Unfortunately, access to the Stairs is now (June 2021) blocked off with a gate due to a lack of "modern safety standards." A rather strange argument for a place where people were deliberately put to death.

Fortunately, you can easily bypass the gate and climb the stairs in peace and with thoughts of the many murdered here.

I consider this place particularly suitable for thoughtful remembrance.

On April 7, 2022, a group of people climbed the Stairs of Death to the concentration camp. They were on the Jerusalem Way (jerusalemway.org) as peace pilgrims from Linz to Vienna, traveling in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
