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.

Take the panorama funicular railway up the mountain at Hallstatt to discover the mysterious attraction of this mystical area. The path leads to the tunnel mouth and into a unique underground world first dug by hand more than 3000 years ago: many kilometres of tunnels lead deep into the rock interior. Enjoy a day full of fun and information at the Salt Mine Hallstatt for the hole family.

If you have a few hours to spare in Hallstatt, taking a tour of the salt mine is a must! A steep funicular takes you up to the prep building where you will don special coveralls and meet your guide. Tour groups are a max of 65 people, but even with that number, you never feel crowded or have trouble hearing/understanding the guide and virtual displays within the mine. Touring the mine is safe, interesting, and full of little surprises, like measuring your speed on one of the wooden slides that would carry miners between different levels within the mountain!

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.

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.

This is an amazing basilica! No need for any of publicity from the Sound of Music. However I believe this was featured in the movie! A great place to light a candle and say some prayers! Will definitely return here the next time we visit the area. Loved the religious piety shop! We acquired some Holy Water!

If you want to explore Linz, you have to start with the Postlingbergbahn. On Saturday it was a lot of visitors and the train was 120% full. The ride with this train is an excellent experience. And the view on the top ot the hill is great.
