Trick Fountains and the Sound of Music

We thought it would be just a small side trip - because we were passing anyway.

It does not matter where you

 SIT...

Or STAND...

Or WALK...

If you are not VERY Observant - 

You WILL get Wet!

HELLBRUNN PALACE

with its expansive grounds, is Famous for its Trick Fountains.  

Built 400 years ago the Fountains are still operational today and delight Visitors from across the Globe.

This is definitely somewhere to go on a Summer's Day.  

The Fountains are operated by a Tour Guide who demonstrates each Fountain 

while telling Stories of those who fell to The Archbishops Pranks.

(We felt that perhaps our Guide enjoyed his job just a little TOO much!)

We also (Quickly) Toured the Palace Museum

but did not have the time to linger and 'read up' on all of the exhibits...

Some were created

With a Liberal dose of Magic

and a Lot of Imagination

And What about the Sound of Music?

The Movie starring Julie Andrews 

was Set and filmed on location in Salzburg and the surrounding countryside. 

(Including the Unterberg from my last Post)

The Pavilion Scene where Liesl and Franz first meet (and Sing "I am 16 going on 17")

is in the Palace Park at Hellbrun and visited by over 300,000 Fans a year.

I certainly would have liked to see more of this Beautiful Estate.

Something to add to the "Maybe Someday" return trip?

There is SO much to see in and around this Beautiful City - 

we REALLY did need more time!
