The view is nice but appart from that it's only worth it if you are a Sound of Music tragic More

Having read some of the negative reviews in Tripadvisor, I was a bit worried about what my experience would be. True enough, there were no signs but we just followed common sense. We knew it was beside the Hohensalzburg fortress so after visiting the fortress, we just followed the path towards the general direction of the convent and sure enough,... More

You would recognize the outside view ( near end of movie while the Von Trapps were being... More
