The Hills are Alive with the South of Music!

We were so excited to arrive in Salzburg! Our family loves the "The Sound of Music" movie so we took the tour of the landmarks and views of the landscape where the movie was filmed. Some of the sites we saw included the Veranda where Lisl and Rolf sang "I Am 16 Going on 17" and the church where Maria and Captain Von Trapp were married in the movie. We walked through Mirabell Gardens which were laid out in the 18th century. Maria and the children danced throughout these gardens singing "Do-Re-Mi."

We went to the Leopoldskron Castle which was used as the front side of the Trapp family home in the movie. The children boated on the Leopoodskron Lake and fell into the water during the movie.
