"The Sound of Music" tour, Part 2: Hellbrunn Palace/ THE GAZEBO!!!

After the church came Hellbrunn Palace, which is where Rolf and Liesl's famous gazebo now sits.  (It's not the actual location where the scene was filmed.)



"Schloss" = "palace"


We didn't go in the palace.  We made this stop solely for the gazebo and for a bathroom break.


THE GAZEBO!!!




It was locked, so I took this photo through the window.


There are several attractions here.  Too bad our stop wasn't longer!


Some emperor had this small castle built in a month. It's some sort of museum now.


Check out the GORRRRGEOUS tulips, yo!










In the movie, when Maria arrived at the Von Trapps' mansion, she rode her bike down a lane behind these yellow walls and up to the yellow building, which is now some sort of music conservatory or something.

(However, this isn't the real Von Trapp mansion.  See one of the next posts for more details.)



This is the lane she rode down.


Reesa, Tracy and I almost missed our bus while taking these photos, so we jumped on in the nick of time and hurried onwards.
