Music and Austria - two of my great loves - so what better to end this month's Sepia Saturday "Sound of Music" theme with a travelogue of the Austria with some musical moments - notably Mozart and That Film.
We stayed in the village of St. Gilgen on the banks of Wolfgsngsee - which lovers of "The Sound of Music" film will recognisevfrom the opening sequence as the camera swooped over the landscape. This was the view from our hotel.
The typical view across to the Castle in Salzburg
The Mirabel Gardens which feature in the the film
Rest your legs from sightseeing by taking a carriage ride
The centre of Salzburg
Below at Mondsee the train took visitors from the main car park into the town centre. Mondsee is probably most famous now as the location of the church used in "the Sound of Music" film for the wedding of Maria and Captain von Trapp. But sorry no pictured of the church

*******************************
There is so much we like about Austria - the landscape, the architecture (chalets and churches), the food especially the cakes, culture and the traditional costumes - no wonder we chose to spend our wedding anniversaries there!
A perfect post to match the theme. "The hills are alive with the sound of music!" and beautiful, charming scenery. :)
