Immerse yourself in the magic of The Sound of Music with this all-day tour tailored for fans of the beloved film. Your journey begins at 10 AM when your private guide picks you up from your Salzburg hotel, ready to transport you back in time to the iconic locations from the movie. Start the day with a tour of the city, always focusing on the Sound of Music locations.

Admire the view over the lake with the castle Leopoldskron and fortress in the background. Leopoldskron was used as the von Trapp family home in Sound of Music. Also, the boat scene with Maria and the kids was filmed here.

Step into one of the most iconic scenes from The Sound of Music as you visit the original gazebo used in the song “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” Located in the gardens of Hellbrunn Palace, this romantic setting has become a must-see for fans of the film. Your guide will share fun facts about the filming and the history of the gazebo, with time for photos before continuing your journey.

Experience the breathtaking alpine meadow made famous in the opening scene of The Sound of Music. This is where Maria sang “The Hills Are Alive” against the stunning backdrop of the Untersberg mountain. Enjoy a short stop to take in the scenery, snap unforgettable photos, and learn about the movie magic that brought this iconic moment to life. A must for any fan of the film.

Take a relaxing midday break in the charming alpine town of Berchtesgaden. Nestled in the Bavarian Alps, this historic town offers a variety of traditional restaurants, cafés, and beer gardens where you can enjoy lunch at your own pace (meal not included). Stroll the picturesque streets, browse local shops, or simply soak up the mountain views before the afternoon’s historical highlights.

Afterward, your journey takes you along a scenic route to the Obersalzberg region, a site of extraordinary historical importance. Obersalzberg functioned as a second headquarters alongside Berlin, acting as Adolf Hitler’s mountain residence and a key command center. Perched at an elevation of 3,000 feet, the Berghof was Hitler’s personal retreat but also a critical location for strategic planning and leadership meetings. While Berlin was the political heart of the regime, Obersalzberg was a highly secure and influential site where many key decisions were made, reflecting its vital role alongside the capital.

From Obersalzberg, continue your journey with a scenic bus ride and a historic elevator ascent to the Eagle’s Nest, perched atop the Kehlstein mountain at over 1,800 meters (6,000 feet). Originally built as a diplomatic retreat during the Nazi era, the site today offers a striking contrast between dark history and breathtaking natural beauty. Enjoy approximately 1 hour to explore the site, visit the mountaintop restaurant, or take a short walk to the nearby Kehlstein summit for sweeping panoramic views of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps.

After your visit to the Eagle’s Nest, sit back and enjoy a scenic drive through the Bavarian and Austrian Alps as you return to Salzburg. Reflect on the day’s highlights—from cinematic moments to powerful history—as your guide brings you comfortably back to your hotel, concluding your unforgettable Sound of Music and Eagle’s Nest adventure.
