Mauthausen: Heindlkai - Donau Bundesstraße
Built around a settlement on the Danube, Mauthausen grew into an Upper Austrian market town. Heindlkai follows the riverfront beside the Donau Bundesstraße, part of the B3 corridor along the Danube, where modest historic façades stand alongside everyday local services. The river remains central to the town’s identity, placing Mauthausen between Linz and the Strudengau landscape. Above the town, the former Mauthausen concentration camp is preserved as the Mauthausen Memorial, commemorating those imprisoned and murdered under National Socialism. Granite quarrying also shaped the local economy and is inseparable from this history. Mauthausen is a stop on the Danube Cycle Path and a place to approach with attention and context.

Few towns in Upper Austria have a history as closely tied to granite quarrying and the Nazi concentration-camp system as Mauthausen. Set beside the Danube on the edge of the Mühlviertel, it developed around a long-established granite industry. The Mauthausen Memorial stands at the former concentration camp, where prisoners were subjected to forced labour in the nearby quarries during Nazi rule; it is now an important place of remembrance and education. Beyond this difficult legacy, the town’s Danube setting connects it with the wider river corridor of Upper Austria.

Formed around the Danube and Enns corridors, Upper Austria developed into one of Austria’s nine federal states. Linz, its capital on the Danube, combines a major industrial tradition with cultural institutions including the Ars Electronica Center. North of the river, the Mühlviertel rolls towards the Czech border; southward, the terrain rises into the Alpine foothills and the lake country of the Salzkammergut. Hallstatt, beside Hallstätter See, is among the region’s best-known historic settlements and lends its name to the Hallstatt period of early Iron Age Europe.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
