Why go?

For Mozart and Maria (von Trapp) moments, big Alpine views from the high-on-hilltop fortress and baroque in excess.

Local hotspot

Untersberg, a 1,853m peak nudging the German border, for views to make you yodel out loud.

You probably didn’t know

Joseph Mohr penned the lyrics to the carol ‘Silent Night’ at No 9 Steingasse.

Suggested reading and viewing

To read: The Story of the Trapp Family Singers (Maria von Trapp, 2002). To watch: Amadeus (1984).
