This tour is a combination of the magnificent city and the picturesque countryside of Salzburg and takes you to all the major sights of the wonderful movie Sound of Music. Starting with a complete city tour, visiting all the important places where the movie was made, as the Leopoldskron castle with its lake on which the boating scene was filmed, Nonnberg abbey where Maria was a novice, Frohnburg castle, the Gazebo close to the castle of Hellbrunn and the Mirabell gardens with the Pegasus fountain around which Maria and the children were dancing and singing “Do-re-miâ€.
Our tour leads us further to the picturesque lake-and mountain district known as Salzkammergut.
We ascend the hills east of Salzburg, pass by Lake Fuschlsee and go to the charming town of St.Gilgen at Lake Wolfgangsee, which can be seen at the very beginning of the movie in an areal view. We continue our tour to the next lake and town, both called Mondsee. In this little town you may visit St.Michael´s church, in which the wedding ceremony of the Baron and Maria was filmed. Relax on the way back to Salzburg and recall the scenes of this wonderful movie!
