See ‘Sound of Music’ filming locations, Obersalzberg, and the Austrian Lakes on a private day trip from Salzburg. The action-packed day includes visits to Schloss Leopoldskron, Hellbrunn Castle, Lake Wolfgangsee, and Mondsee — all sites immortalized in the ‘Sound of Music’ film. Travel to Obersalzberg, too, and learn about the mountain retreat during the days of Hitler’s Third Reich. Access to the Eagle’s Nest isn’t included, but there’s ample time for you to visit it, if you wish. From November until about May 10th (depends on the snow conditions), the Eagle's Nest direct access road is closed, alternatively we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. The Sound of Music hiking scene was filmed at Rossfeld. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle's Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.

Inclusions: Professional local private guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Guaranteed to skip the long lines, Private tour

Exclusions: Bus and elevator to the Eagle's Nest, EUR 16,50 p.p.

This is a beautiful spot. Make sure to cross the bridge for great photos and breathtaking views. Inside the castle, you only see a few rooms. tour took about 40 mins. Our tour guide was not very enthusiastic, but gave some interesting facts. The tour guide was soft spoken and had a flat, droning voice, which was a downer. He didn't take questions. However, great spot. Add a bike tour of area to the surrounding park for a swim in the lake to make visit to area even better.
