Relive the Sound of Music Film Locations Day Trip

Start your tour by visiting the Basilica St. Michael, the stunning Baroque church. Stroll Lake Mondsee's shores, framed by mountains that set the movie's joyful tone. Admire Wolfgangsee's shimmering waters from St. Gilgen, featured in opening shots with its iconic church steeple and alpine backdrop. This Salzkammergut lake captures the film's "hills are alive" magic. Explore Salzburg's Mirabell Gardens for the "Do-Re-Mi" sing-along around the Pegasus Fountain, Nonnberg Abbey where Maria was a novice, and Residenzplatz for "I Have Confidence." Hoglworther See appears in the movie's panoramic Salzkammergut flyover sequences, showcasing alpine lakes and castles. Located in Anger south of Salzburg in Germany but tied to Austrian scenery.
