Mirabell Palace & Garden

7.3
4.6/5
289 reviews
Mirabell Palace & Garden is located on the north bank of the Salzach River in Salzburg. Built in 1606 by Archbishop Dietrich for his lover Salome and their children, the palace was later renamed "Mirabell" by his successor. Today, it serves as the office of Salzburg's municipal authorities. The iconic scene from the movie The Sound of Music, where Maria and the children sing "Do-Re-Mi," was filmed by the garden's steps and fountain. The palace suffered a fire in 1818, with the marble staircase leading to the garden and the marble hall being among the surviving parts. The staircase is adorned with cherubs sculpted by Baroque artist Donner, each holding clouds in playful and endearing poses. The marble hall once echoed with the piano melodies of the young Mozart and is now a popular wedding venue, also frequently used for concerts and other events. The garden features a typical Baroque layout: statues of Greek and Roman mythological figures flank the entrance, while the central Pegasus fountain is surrounded by sculptures symbolizing the four elements. The green hedge theater at the rear, enclosed by neatly trimmed hedges, dates back to the early 18th century. The dwarf garden boasts a group of whimsically exaggerated stone gnomes, said to be modeled after real court figures. Unicorn sculptures scattered throughout add a fairy-tale charm to the solemn Baroque scenery. Climb the steps to the rose hill for a view of Salzburg Fortress on the opposite riverbank. The garden is adorned mainly with flower beds, hedges, and roses, making it especially delightful to visit during warmer seasons.Salzburg · 12.2 km from Marktschellenberg

Altes Rathaus spreads across both banks of the Salzach River, where medieval alley layouts and Baroque-era churches and squares are layered upon one another. The old town, densely packed with domes and towers, is thus known as the "Rome of the North" and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996. Surrounded by mountains, its beautiful scenery blends seamlessly with its rich and colorful architectural art. The historic buildings here span multiple periods, from Gothic to Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism. It is also the musician Mozart's place of birth, still attracting countless music lovers to make a pilgrimage, adding a rich cultural atmosphere to the old town.Salzburg · 11.4 km from Marktschellenberg

Konigssee

4.7/5
316 reviews
Konigsseeis located in an Alpine valley on the German-Austrian border, south of Berchtesgaden, and is a long, narrow lake carved by glaciers. The lake stretches approx. 7.7 km from north to south, with steep rock walls on both sides and mountains plunging directly into the water. On the west bank, the towering east face of the Watzmann mountain rises abruptly. The lake water is emerald green and clear, with a maximum depth of approx. 190 m. Taking a boat tour is the classic way to experience the lake. The boat makes a short stop in front of the Echo Wall in the middle of the lake. The captain plays a trumpet, and the sound bounces off the cliffs, creating multiple echoes. The route has several stops, and most people get off at the St. Bartholomew peninsula—the Pilgrimage Church of St. Bartholomew, with its red onion-shaped domes, is set against steep cliffs and reflected in the lake, making it an iconic sight here. If you get off at the final stop, Salet, you can reach the Obersee hidden in the mountain hollow after a short walk. Walking further, you can see the Röthbach Waterfall cascading down from a great height. You can also take the cable car up the Jennerbahn on the east bank to overlook this "green fjord" nestled among the mountains.Schonau am Konigssee · 16.5 km from Marktschellenberg

Magic Forest
No. 7 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Germany

Magic Forest

5.3
4.2/5
54 reviews
Magic Forest is named for the unique, wild view created by the interplay of boulder piles formed by a landslide thousands of years ago and rushing streams. Ancient rocks cascaded into the valley floor, creating stone formations. Since then, trees have grown among the scattered rocks, their roots wrapping around moss-covered boulders, while clear streams flow between them, forming a natural landscape that feels like a pristine, secret realm. The forest area features well-maintained trails, with geological interpretation signs along the way that tell the story of the ancient geological changes caused by the landslide. Walking through it, the tall, dense forest, intertwined roots, and scattered boulders complement each other, adding a strong sense of narrative and exploration to the hike. The edge of the forest connects to an open lake, where the mirror-like water reflects the surrounding peaks. The scenery here changes with the seasons—green in spring, red in autumn, and snow-covered rocks in winter—showcasing the enduring beauty of the natural ecosystem in the Alpine valley.Ramsau · 17.2 km from Marktschellenberg

The Schafberg on the north shore and the continuous mountain ranges to the south frame the lake, making it appear clear and expansive. The opening aerial shots of the film *The Sound of Music* were filmed here, and the bright, sweeping views over the lake have made it an iconic scene of the Austrian lake district for many fans.

St.Wolfgangis a lakeside town in the Salzkammergut region of Austria, located east of Salzburg and situated on the northern shore of Wolfgangsee Lake at the foot of the Schafberg. Legend has it that in the 10th century, Bishop Wolfgang lived here as a hermit, threw his axe onto the hillside, and built the town's first church on the spot where it landed. He was later canonized by the church, and the town was named after him. For centuries since, it has been a renowned pilgrimage destination, and today it is a favorite vacation spot for Austrians due to its lake and mountain scenery, while also serving as a ski destination in winter.St. Wolfgang · 30.2 km from Marktschellenberg

Mirabell Palace and Garden is one of the most beautiful attractions in Salzburg. The palace is elegant and full of charm, with lovely architecture and a rich history that reflects the city’s cultural heritage. I enjoyed walking through the gardens, especially the colorful flower beds, neatly trimmed hedges, and graceful fountains. The famous marble statues and the view toward the fortress made the visit even more memorable. The palace itself was also impressive, with its refined rooms and peaceful atmosphere. Overall, Mirabell Palace and Garden offers a wonderful mix of beauty, history, and relaxation. It is a must-visit for anyone exploring Salzburg, and I would gladly visit again.

Salzburg, the second largest city in Austria, is a veritable city of music. It is the hometown of Mozart. We visited Mozart's ancient residence and the Sculpture Square. The children here often hold various music-related activities.

D23 Schönau-King's Lake-Ramsau-Back Lake-Stay in Lofersalach Valley King's Lake is located 5 kilometers south of Berchtesgaden, a small town on the border between Germany and Austria. It is known as the most beautiful lake in Germany. It is named after the shape of the surrounding peaks, such as the peaks symbolizing the king and queen, their children and the witch peak lying down. It is the deepest lake in Germany, with a maximum depth of 200 meters. Surrounded by mountains, the lake water is clear, and there is no pollution in the lake when electric boats travel. Wandering by boat, on the cliffs of the "Echo Wall", is a famous program for cruise ships: the captain blows the trumpet facing the cliff, and the echo can be clearly heard, and then takes the hat to collect tips. St. Bartholomew's Chapel is a landmark on the west bank of the Hirschau Peninsula of King's Lake. It has a unique shape and is known as a representative of the Baroque style. Go to the pier at the south end of the lake and then go forward to the upper lake. The lake is not big, but the color is comparable to the Five Flower Sea in Jiuzhaigou! The southern end of the upper lake is a pasture, and there are many swimmers who are not afraid of the cold by the lake! The dreamy colors can only be explained by pictures!

Qianliang Hutong is a small alley in the center of Salzburg. Mozart's birthplace is on this alley. In addition, the second floors of the buildings on both sides of the alley are hung with various signs, which should be the more distinctive feature of this alley. The alley is neither wide nor long, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk slowly. There are still mainly various shops on both sides. Of course, the famous Austrian Swarovski also has a branch here, and Salzburg's tax refund point is also near this alley.

Mozart Square is very small. The bronze statue of Mozart is the center of the square. There are cafes and candy shops around it. The square is very clean and quiet. You can also visit the nearby Wager Square.

Although Salzburg is like a small village compared to Vienna, the lake area is really beautiful. Here, there are green mountains, green waters, green grass, old houses, and Lake St. Wolfgang, quietly waiting in the valley. It is really beautiful as a picture.

Jena Peak is a must-see when visiting Berchtesgaden. You can see its majestic figure when you are boating on Lake Königssee. When you reach its peak by sightseeing car, you will feel the feeling of overlooking all the mountains.

The Bishop's Palace Square should be the real name. In the movie The Sound of Music, there is a scene where a female teacher passes by the square singing a song. Austria is such a land of music.
