The Hills are alive, with the Sound of Music (Mount Untersberg)

#hikingtime #100waysoftravel The Hills are alive with the Sound of Music, with songs that have sung for a thousand years. This is the opening hymn by Fraulein Maria, when she escapes the Abbey and roam around the Unternberg, exactly where the scene is being shot. The scene where the von Trapp family escapes the Nazi's arrest to Switzerland was also being film there. The highest peak is at Berchtesgaden Hockthorn at 1973 meters. It spans between Berchtesgaden in the Germany and Salzburg at the Austria. The trails are very smooth and easy to hike and climb and there are stairways and roads, so you do not need a lot of assistance to ascend. A very nice hiking experience indeed.
