Activities of “Sound of music” any year

These tours vary in length: some of them include the filming locations in the city of Salzburg, while others take you out into the famous Salzkammergut region with Lake Wolfgangsee and Lake Mondsee.

Cycle to Salzburg’s film locations with ‘Fräulein Maria’s Bicycle Tour’ and enjoy a very special experience in Salzburg: Salzburg is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in Austria. Enjoy the tours accompanied by music (!) through the historic city centre and through the ancient avenue of trees to Hellbrunn and back again.

The traditional horse-drawn carriages with their beautiful horses and Landauers are as much a part of Salzburg’s cityscape as the fortress or the cathedral. The Winter family business from Moosstraße has been around since 1924: it offers a horse-drawn carriage ride to Salzburg’s film locations with the ‘History of Music’ tour.
 

Explore the film locations on foot in the company of an expert guide who knows all the background stories about the Trapp family and the film. Guide Trudy even sings herself: a real experience!

Free app for Salzburg and Werfen

The ‘The Sound of Music’ tour app is ideal for anyone who wants to walk from one film location to the next at their own pace using their smartphone. The app is available to download free of charge and guides you through the city of Salzburg. Nine film locations and their history are explained in either German or English. A new addition is the trail in Werfen (see below)

Early summer to autumn, Werfen

Around 40 kilometres south of the city of Salzburg – surrounded by mighty mountains – lies the pretty village of Werfen with the medieval Hohenwerfen adventure castle. This forms the backdrop for the film scene in which Maria practices the song ‘Do-Re-Mi’ with the children.
The 1.4-kilometre ‘Sound of Music’ trail leads right to this filming location and can be hiked individually. There is also an audio tour for this easy hiking trail via a free smartphone app. The text is spoken by ‘film child Friedrich’ Nicholas Hammond. Ideally, you should combine a trip to Werfen with a visit to the mighty fortified castle. Travelling by train is easy.
