Hi,
I was just wondering if there was a rail option to get from Vienna to Mauthausen Concentration Camp? I did see a forum post but not from Vienna.
I have already booked a tour for $270 per person but I think I get a train/bus there a lot cheaper. We are going to go 30 December 2025 and from what I have read it is free entry?
Any help would be great.
I Googled it and found it:

From Wien to Mauthausen OÖ Bahnhof
The best connection is ICE 28 to Linz and then REX 33 to Mauthausen (a ride of 1:45 hours).
Confirmed departure times cannot be given at the moment, because the current train schedule ends on December 13th, 2025.
From the train station to the Memorial it is best to take a taxi. (The bus directly to the Memorial runs only during the summer season.)
