• Salzburger Altstadt - Dive into the enchanting world of The Sound of Music with this full-day tour designed for enthusiasts of the classic film. The adventure kicks off at 10 AM when a private guide collects you from your Salzburg hotel, ready to whisk you away to the film’s iconic sites. Begin with a city tour, focusing on the memorable locations from the movie.
• Schloss Leopoldskron - Take in the picturesque view over the lake with the Leopoldskron Castle and fortress in the backdrop. This castle served as the von Trapp family home in The Sound of Music, and the memorable boat scene with Maria and the children was filmed here.
• Schloss Hellbrunn - Step into one of the film’s most memorable scenes by visiting the original gazebo featured in the song “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” Situated in the gardens of Hellbrunn Palace, this romantic spot is a must-visit for fans. Your guide will share interesting tidbits about the filming and the gazebo’s history, with time for photos before moving on.
• Mehlweg - Relish the stunning alpine meadow made famous in the opening scene of The Sound of Music. This is where Maria sang “The Hills Are Alive” against the breathtaking backdrop of the Untersberg mountain. Enjoy a brief stop to soak in the scenery, capture unforgettable photos, and learn about the cinematic magic that brought this iconic moment to life. A must-see for any fan.
• Berchtesgaden - Enjoy a leisurely 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 for a relaxed lunch at your own pace (meal not included). Wander the picturesque streets, explore local shops, or simply enjoy the mountain views before the afternoon’s historical highlights.
• Obersalzberg - Next, travel along a scenic route to the Obersalzberg region, a site of significant historical importance. Obersalzberg served as a secondary headquarters alongside Berlin, functioning as Adolf Hitler’s mountain residence and a key command center. Situated at an elevation of 3,000 feet, the Berghof was Hitler’s personal retreat and a crucial location for strategic planning and leadership meetings. While Berlin was the political hub, Obersalzberg was a highly secure and influential site where many key decisions were made, underscoring its vital role alongside the capital.
• The Eagle’s Nest - From Obersalzberg, continue 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 constructed as a diplomatic retreat during the Nazi era, the site now offers a striking contrast between its dark history and the breathtaking natural beauty.

Spend about an hour exploring the site, visiting the mountaintop restaurant, or taking a short walk to the nearby Kehlstein summit for sweeping panoramic views of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps.

• Salzburg - After visiting the Eagle’s Nest, relax and enjoy a scenic drive through the Bavarian and Austrian Alps as you return to Salzburg.
