Lonely Goatherd Bike Tour: fiets door de omgeving van Salzburg met het geluid van muziek
Beschrijving
Deze Salzburg Bike Tour is de perfecte aanvulling op onze wandeltochten. Terwijl we tijdens de wandeltochten de historische oude binnenstad van Salzburg verkennen, neemt de fietstocht ons mee in de natuur rond Salzburg. De fietstocht laat je echter niet alleen de omgeving van Salzburg zien, maar neemt ons ook mee naar enkele van de meest iconische filmlocaties van de Sound of Music en vertelt het verhaal van het filmen van de Sound of Music-film, maar ook het waargebeurde verhaal van de familie Trapp in Salzburg. We rijden langs de oudste statige laan van Midden-Europa en vinden verschillende kastelen die in de geschiedenis werden gebruikt door aartsbisschoppen en adel, voordat ze dienden als filmlocaties voor de film. Ons ontmoetingspunt voor de Lonely Goatherd Bike Tour van Salzburg ligt net buiten het oude centrum van Salzburg. Daarom is het slechts 2 minuten fietsen om van de stad naar het prachtige landschap rond Salzburg te komen.

Reisroute
De Frohnburg is een van de kastelen langs het pad naar het Hellbrunn-paleis langs de "Hellbrunner Allee", de prins-aartsbisschoppelijke steeg. De Frohnburg was het kasteel dat werd gebruikt voor de gevel van het huis in de film Sound of Music. Tegenwoordig behoort het tot de Muziekuniversiteit van Salzburg en daarom hoor je vaak klassieke muziek van binnenuit komen.
Slot Hellbrunn is het hoogtepunt van de omgeving van Salzburg. Hellbrunn is vooral bekend om de trick-fonteinen, maar Hellbrunn is ook een stop op elke Sound of Music-tour vanwege het prieel uit het nummer zestien-zeventien uit de film. Als we na 5 kilometer fietsen in Hellbrunn aankomen, nemen we een korte pauze om het park, het paleis van buitenaf en het paviljoen te bekijken en desgewenst iets te drinken of te eten.
Leopoldskron, een kasteel uit de eerste helft van de 18e eeuw, en de Leopoldskroner Weiher, een kunstmatig meer gecreëerd voor het kasteel, werden ook gebruikt in The Sound of Music. Kasteel Leopoldskron werd gebruikt als de achterkant van het huis waar Maria en de kinderen aan de bomen hingen en waar ze kapseisden met de boot. Het kasteel is nu eigendom van de Amerikaanse stichting "Salzburg Global Seminar". Het park is alleen toegankelijk voor gasten van Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron. We kunnen het park dus niet direct bezoeken, maar fietsend om de vijver heen krijgen we een prachtig uitzicht vanaf de andere kant.
De abdij van Nonnberg is niet alleen het oudste vrouwenklooster ter wereld, maar was ook de abdij van de Sound of Music. De abdij ligt dicht bij het ontmoetingspunt voor de Salzburg Bike Tour. Daarom zullen we naar de abdij stijgen voordat we de tour beëindigen. De abdij van Nonnberg ligt iets hoger, wat weer een fantastisch uitzicht biedt op de omgeving in het zuiden van Salzburg en op de Alpen in de verte. We kunnen de abdij niet betreden, maar we kunnen wel de kerk en de begraafplaats betreden, zodat je een idee krijgt van waar het klooster over gaat.

Our tour with Johannes was a 10/10!!! He was very funny, engaging, knowledgeable and really brought the beautiful city of Salzburg to life!!! HIGHLY recommend this tour :).
This was a huge tick off my bucket list and something I’ve wanted to do since I first visited Salzburg as a poor student 44 years ago ! We opted for the bicycle tour as something a bit idiosyncratic and it lived up to all expectations. We bicycled through the most gorgeous countryside around Salzburg and visited many of the films iconic locations all the while to the accompaniment of the soundtrack with the added fun of group sing a longs ! I know it sounds corny but it was fabulous! Our tour guide Roberta was a complete gem and we enjoyed so many of her stories behind the scenes of SOM and Austria in general Has to be one of my fav days !
Dear Jennifer, we are very happy and honored that a Sound of Music tour in Salzburg was on your bucket list, that you chose our company and that the tour with Roberta met your high expectations. The countryside around Salzburg is indeed gorgeous, and it's great to hear that you enjoyed cycling it with Roberta. Thank you so much for taking the time to write reviews. We appreciate it and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Salzburg and Austria and hope to see you again next time. All the best, Gerhard
Brendan was our guide and he was simply delightful. We had so much fun visiting the Sound of a music sites via bike. The other patrons became friends and it was an amazing tour
This was my favourite tour of Salzburg. So lovely to be out on a bike on a beautiful day. You get to stop at the sound of music sites. Highly recommend
We were not sure about getting a Sound of Music tour since others were booked up. We lucked into talking with Gary, the bartender at our youth hostel, who told about this tour company and that he was leading a bike tour the next day! We were traveling with our two sons, ages 12 and 9. Gary made it super entertaining for the entire group of adults and the boys, including a quick jump into the canal for a cool swim. He was knowledgeable and shared pictures and great stories. The ride was the perfect length of around 2 hours. Also got some wonderful pictures. Thanks Gary!!
Dear Julie, thank you so much for taking our Sound of Music bike tour with Gary and for your review. We are very happy to hear that your family enjoyed Gary's tour and his stories and pictures and the jump into Almkanal. We hope you also enjoyed the rest of your time in Salzburg and hope to see you again next time. All the best, Gerhard
Brendan made this trip really fun! We had a nice ride to all of the highlighted locations from the movie, and even a few bonus stops. He gave some great behind-the-scenes information about the movie during the tour as well. You can tell he really appreciates not only the Sound of Music, but the overall culture of Salzburg.
Dear Tammy, thank you so much for taking the bike tour with Brendan and for this review. We are very happy to know you had fun on the trip and enjoyed riding to all the Sound of Music filming locations and that Brendan's appreciation for the Sound of Music and for Salzburg shines through. We hope you also enjoyed the rest of your time in Salzburg and hope to see you again next time. All the best, Gerhard
The tour Guide I think his name was Gary or maybe it was Tim, was really enjoyable, had a nice conversation about wildlife really knowledgable guy about hippos funnily enough which are my favourite animal, any ways back to the point i would highly recommend this tour just to get out and see the place, the guide made it excellent touring
Dear Clark, we are very happy that you enjoyed the tour with Tim (aka Gary) and your conversation about hippos. haha. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! This is very helpful and we really appreciate it. We hope to see you again in Salzburg next time. All the best, Gerhard
Gary from Cork was our guide and he was very helpful and reassuring as I was a little nervous cycling as I hadn't done it in quite a while. He has a huge knowledge on not only The Sound of Music but also the Von Trapp family and he was able to give the answers to whatever questions were thrown at him. It was a fabulous cycle and I was so pleased that I decided to do this...one if the highlights of my holiday in Austria
It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the bike tour with Gary and that it was one of your highlights in Austria. It will be my pleasure to pass on your praise to Gary. Thank you very much for taking the tour, for taking the time to write this review, and for your kind words. We appreciate it and hope to welcome you back to Salzburg next time! All the best, Gerhard
The tour guide was very informative and engaged throughout the entire tour. The scenery we biked through was absolutely beautiful and I learned a lot! I would totally recommend this experience to anyone!
The meeting spot was a little outside the town and the guide was unsure where the WC was, and that is probably a necessary thing to know. We did find one before we departed but had to find one nearby on our own. There was only one stop i didn't need to see and that was the pink flamingo colony. Other than that tour was great and guide very nice and shared great insights into the movie
