This is a great museum
(Translated by Google) We were simply amazed, and at times even irritated, by how people were punished and tortured in the past. Especially since some torture methods are still used today 😱 They also document criminal cases that require some nerves of steel. But it's still very interesting 👍👍 (Original) Wir waren schlichtweg begeistert und manchmal auch irritiert, wie man Menschen früher bestraft und gefoltert hat. Zumal einige Foltermethoden heutzutage noch angewendet werden 😱 Zudem werden dort Kriminalfälle dokumentiert gezeigt, die schon starke Nerven brauchen. Aber trotzdem sehr interessant gemacht 👍👍
(Translated by Google) Very comprehensive and informative. Dress warmly; there's no air conditioning. The Crime Museum is very well presented; I found it fascinating. The Gendarmerie Museum, with its murders, crimes, etc., is worth a second visit; there's almost too much information for one visit. Definitely worth a visit! (Original) Sehr umfangreich und informativ. Warm anziehen, nicht klimatisiert. Kriminalmuseum ist sehr gut aufbereitet, Hat mich fasziniert. Gendarmerie Museum, Morde, Verbrechen, usw.usw.sollte man in einer zweiten Visite besuchen, Infos sind für einen Besuch fast zuviel. Einen Besuch sicher wert!
(Translated by Google) Not for the faint of heart. Highly interesting for anyone interested in history, crime, etc. Great exhibits, and the stories and explanations behind them will send shivers down your spine... I've been there twice, and you always see something new. Not really suitable for children, I'd say. (Original) Nix für schwache Nerven. Hoch interessant für alle die sich für Geschichte und Kriminalfälle usw interessieren. Tolle Exponate, und die Geschichten dazu bzw die Erklärungen lassen einem eiskalte Schauer über den Rücken laufen..... War schon 2x dort und man sieht immer wieder was neues Für Kinder eher nicht so geeignet würde ich sagen
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful building (especially if you look up every now and then, it's magnificent). We received a warm welcome and a brief explanation. We were allowed to grab a blanket for the building's basement. It was indeed a bit chilly in there, but with over 30 degrees Celsius outside, I loved it! I noticed that there were so many objects from the past. Every conceivable instrument of torture and punishment was present. Everything is described in German, which was a shame, but with Google Translate (take a photo and scan it) you can get a long way. There's also a great section about the police from the past to the present, and also various cases that have been solved with sometimes rather gruesome evidence (from the past to the present). Highly recommended! There was no card payment option, so only cash. It might be useful to know this beforehand. (Original) Zeer mooi gebouw (vooral als je af en toe even naar boven kijkt, prachtig. Ontvangst was hartelijk en we kregen een korte uitleg. We mochten een dekentje pakken, voor in de kelder van het gebouw. Het was er inderdaad was frisjes, maar met 30+graden buiten, vond ik het zalig! Het viel me op dat er erg veel spullen/voorwerpen van vroeger waren. Alle mogelijke martel- en strafwerktuigen waren aanwezig. Alles staat beschreven in het Duits, dat was jammer maar met Google translate (foto maken en inscannen) kom je een heel eind. Ook is er een mooi gedeelte met de politie van vroeger tot nu en ook allerlei zaken die zijn opgelost met soms wat lugubere bewijsstukken (van vroeger tot nu). Echt een aanrader! Er was geen mogelijkheid om met pin te betalen, dus alleen contant/cash. Misschien handig om van te voren te weten.
(Translated by Google) If you are interested in history, there are not many places where the cruelty of this time is documented. (Original) Wenn man an ger Geschichte interessiert ist, gibt es nicht viele Orte, an denen die Grausamkeit dieser Zeit dokumentiert ist.
(Translated by Google) This museum is almost a must-see if you're in the area. It's very comprehensive and informative. (Original) Fast schon ein Muß, wenn man in der Gegend ist sollte man sich dieses Museum ansehen. Sehr umfassend und informativ

Worth going up. An amazing experience, especially including swimming in the little stream when you go down, the magically refreshing mountain water, such fresh air and silence. Beautiful ruins on the mountain near Scharnstein. The parking lot is the closest, from here you can walk down a steep path using stairs in half an hour. Nice to see the remains of 1202 and you also have a beautiful view of the immediate surroundings. At the foot of the climb, you can fill up on water or get a bottle of beer or soft drink from a water keg for a fee. An adventurous hike with a beautiful end point. We went back the same way because the forest path was much longer in our eyes.
Great viewpoint at an old ruin after a 35 minute steep walk with stairs most of the way.
Great hike and amazing view and payoff. Be sure to see the upper tower as well as the vault. Only a small hike from the main ruins
Omg so beautiful!!!!!!! Totally worth the climb. Amazing experience, especially including a swim in the little stream when coming down, magically refreshing mountain waters, such clean air and silence.
Very nice hike and view when it’s not cloudy. All recommendations to visit
Nice place. It is free. If you are in the area you definetly should visit it. Parking is also free and there are multiple treks around.
Tiresome to get up to but worth it. Walking sticks/poles help and lot
Lovely family hike, no crowds.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting documentation about the importance of making scythes in the past. The show forging with original hammer mill takes you even deeper into this industrial heyday. (Original) Sehr interessante Dokumentation über die Bedeutung der Sensenherstellung in vergangener Zeit. Das Schauschmieden mit original Hammerwerk führt noch tiefer in diese industrielle Blütezeit.
(Translated by Google) The Geyerhammer Scythe Museum in Scharnstein im Almtal is an institution worth seeing. It is located directly on the picturesque Alpine pasture. In this former scythe factory, the working conditions and working methods of the time are presented to those interested. Wonderful people volunteer here to serve living history. (Original) Das Sensenmuseum Geyerhammer in Scharnstein im Almtal ist eine sehenswerte Einrichtung. Es befindet sich direkt an der malerischen Alm. In diesem ehemaligen Sensenwerk werden die damaligen Arbeitsbedingungen und Arbeitsweisen den Interessenten präsentiert. Hier engagieren sich wundervolle Menschen ehrenamtlich im Dienste der gelebten Geschichte.
(Translated by Google) Impressive presentation of the history of scythe production in all its facets. Worth seeing video from 1987 (before production finally stopped) with the individual processing steps. Beautifully designed display boards and illustrative objects showing the different shapes of scythes and the numerous countries to which the scythes were exported. Also know information about the social environment of production - right down to the living situation and a workers' strike. Every first Saturday of the month there is a show forging where you can experience all of this. Special exhibitions e.g. 'Hunderwasser's Paradise' (July 4th - August 16th, 2020) with photos by Erika Schmied. (Original) Beeindruckende Darstellung der Geschichte der Sensenproduktion in allen seinen Facetten. Sehenswertes Video aus dem Jahr 1987 (vor der endgültigen Einstellung der Produktion) mit den einzelnen Verarbeitungsschritten. Schön gestaltete Schautafeln und Anschauungsobjekte, welche unterschiedlichen Formen es bei den Sensen gibt und in welch zahlreiche Länder die Sensen exportiert wurden. Außerdem Informationen zum sozialen Umfeld der Produktion kennen - bis hin zur Wohnsituation und einem Streik der Arbeiter. Jeden 1. Samstag im Monat ist ein Schauschmieden angekündigt, bei dem man das alles erleben kann. Sonderausstellungen z.B. ‚Hunderwassers Paradiese‘ (4.7.-16.8.2020) mit Fotos von Erika Schmied.
(Translated by Google) Worth seeing 👍... you have to see it when you're there! (Original) Sehenswertes 👍.... muss man sich Anschauen wenn man dort unterwegs ist!
(Translated by Google) Going to the museum on a hot summer day? It was wonderfully cool in the old walls right by the river. Since my ancestors were among the “black counts” and we only mow our garden with a scythe, a visit to the museum was a given. One of the hammers was renewed in 2009 and is actually powered by hydropower. I was allowed to operate the lever that starts the water wheel myself. (Original) An einem heißen Sommertag ins Museum? In dem alten Gemäuer direkt am Fluss war es herrlich kühl. Da meine Vorfahren zu den "schwarzen Grafen" zählten und wir unseren Garten ausschließlich mit der Sense mähen, war der Museumsbesuch selbstverständlich. Einer der Hämmer wurde 2009 erneuert und wird tatsächlich mit Wasserkraft angetrieben. Ich durfte selbst den Hebel betätigen, mit dem das Wasserrad in Gang gesetzt wird.
(Translated by Google) Very nice little museum. Since there were no other guests there, we were given a small private tour. The gentleman was able to convey it so well that it was really interesting. The final gastronomy recommendation was also great! It's definitely worth a visit!!! (Original) Sehr schönes kleines Museum. Da keine weiteren Gäste da waren, bekamen wir eine kleine Privatführung. Der Herr konnte es so toll übermitteln, dass es wirklich interessant war. Auch die abschließende Gastronomieempfehlung war super! Es ist definitiv ein Besuch wert!!!
(Translated by Google) Museum worth seeing, historically very interesting. Located directly on the Alpine river. Can be combined with a short hike to the Scharnstein ruins with a view of the beautiful Almtal and/or a visit to the Scharnstein Crime Museum. (Original) Sehenswertes Museum, historisch sehr interessant. Direkt am Almfluss gelegen. Kombinierbar mit einer kurzen Wanderung auf die Ruine Scharnstein mit Blick ins herrliche Almtal und/oder Besuch des Kriminalmuseums Scharnstein.
(Translated by Google) A piece of history, a museum that brings the life and work of our ancestors back to life and reminds us of our ancestors. With this Geyerhammer it is possible to get an idea of ​​how people, our ancestors, used to live. Who of our children still knows how to mow with a scythe? It is also a piece of closeness to nature, back then people still knew how to work with the power of nature without destroying it. A big thank you to the people who preserve such valuable relics for posterity and thereby allow us to experience history up close today. (Original) Ein Stück Geschichte, ein Museum, dass das Leben und die Arbeit unserer Vorfahren wieder lebendig macht und uns an die Ahnen erinnert. Mit diesem Geyerhammer ist es möglich eine Ahnung zu bekommen, wie es den Menschen, unseren Ahnen, früher ergangen ist. Wer von unseren Kindern kennt noch das Mähen mit der Sense. Es ist auch ein Stück Naturverbundenheit, damals hat man noch gewusst mit der Kraft der Natur zu arbeiten ohne sie zu zerstören. Einen großen Dank an die Menschen, die solche wertvollen Relikte für die Nachwelt erhalten und dadurch uns heute Geschichte hautnah erleben lassen.
