While the town of Ebensee has a nice museum commemorating the Ebensee Concentration Camp…read more(Konzentrationslager Ebensee or KZ Ebensee), this is the actual site. After the war, the area was rezoned for a housing development and much of the camp is now family homes and gardens. However, some of the site remains along with a memorial wall. The museum in town is also on yelp and called "Zeitgeschichte Museum und KZ-Gedenkstätte Ebensee" and you should start there and then come visit the actual site. Its web site is http://www.memorial-ebensee.at/ There is no website for the site, but you can get lots of great info on wikipedia or at: http://en.tracesofwar.com/article/1287/Memorial-and-Cemetery-Concentration-Camp-Ebensee.htm There is not much parking or even great signage to get to the camp location, but it is worth a visit. There are also "Tunnels" you can visit that were dug by this camp's prisioners during the war to hide underground the V2 rocket production. The museum can tell you more.

This is one of those charming European squares that you tend to find, well, pretty much everywhere,…read moreor at least in the cities and towns that tend to be older than say 200 years. The place is quite spacious, and the view of the fortress is also pretty cool. Okay, it doesn't have the pull that some places happen to have, and Salzburg isn't one of the biggest cities, but this square was till rather nice.

The only way to see the castle if you pay a guided tour. Which is not a problem but they dont tell you this when you huy the ticket so you are pretty much screwed. All of the inside is closed!!!

This Abby is breathtaking. It was founded in around 700 making it the oldest in the German-speaking…read moreworld.The abbey features the church of course, a unbelievably beautiful old cemetery, a old bakery that still has a working mill and catacombs. Everything is free to visit except for the catacombs which cost not very much at all. The catacombs will only take you about 15 minutes to explore but there are very very steep stairs that you need to climb to get to them. Everything else you could explore in less than an hour. Does Abby is right next to the Funicular taking you up to the fortress so it's a good idea to tour both of these at the same time.

Sigmund Thun Klamm is a gorge that features a wooden walkway through it. The gorge is very…read morepicturesque. There are lots of places that are worth stopping and taking pictures. It is touristy. During our visit there was a bus of high school aged kids that arrived right at the same time as us. The walkway isn't very big so manuevering through the crowd was a bit stressful especially as they were moving faster than us. Once they had passed, it was a much more relaxed and serene experience. The gorge is easy to get to via public transportation. There is a bus stop right at the gorge entrance. Outside of the gorge there are some really stunning views. I'm talking blue lake water at the base of a mountain. Overall, I am glad we made the gorge a stop on our trip. It was well worth it despite the crowd.
