What to expect

The courtyard of Schloss Hellbrunn, a sunshine-yellow Baroque pleasure palace. This gravel courtyard of honour is your no-cost gateway to Hellbrunn's world-famous water games, the playful trick fountains hidden just beyond.

Duration 10 minutes
Admission Admission Not Included
2

Sound of Music Pavilion

<nil>

A modest glass gazebo tucked into Hellbrunn's park, this is the world famous pavilion from The Sound of Music. Freely viewable in the open air, it is pure cinematic magic for fans from every continent.

Duration 10 minutes
3
Schloss Emslieb

Schloss Emslieb is a small private Renaissance manor standing right along the historic Hellbrunner Allee, the finest of the noble houses that line the avenue. Built in 1618 for a nephew of Hellbrunn's founder Markus Sittikus, it was designed as a miniature echo of an Italian villa on Lake Como. You admire its elegant facade for free from the public avenue, but it remains private property, so the view is enjoyed from the outside only.

Duration 10 minutes
4
Wasserspiele Hellbrunn

A glassy water parterre of broad ponds and a square island reached by little bridges, ringed by reflections of the palace and the wooded hill.

Duration 10 minutes
5

Monatsschlössl

The hilltop folklore-museum lodge that crowns the walk with a sweeping, ticket-free Stadtblick back over the park toward Salzburg's towers, fortress and mountains. From its terrace you can take in almost the whole free playground you have just explored.

Duration 10 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
