The Water Garden at the Castle of Hellbrun in Salzburg in Austria with its many 'trick' fountains that wet everyone who enters
The Water Garden at the Palace of Hellbrun in Salzburg in Austria with its many 'trick' fountains that wet everyone who enters the gardens. The table and stools is particularly tricky. The Prince Bishop would seat guests at his table and during the meal he could turn on the water which gushed through the seats of the guests. They were not allowed to stand in his presence and so had to endure sitting with wet clothes whilst he laughed his head off. Salzburg was the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the setting for the film of the Von Trapp Family - the Sound of Music. The Hohensalzburg fortress is the most complete fortress from the medieval times that is left in Europe. The streets are narrow and quaint and the locals love to wear the national dress of Austria. The Residenzplatz faces the Palace of the Prince Bishops who ruled the city which is now a museum and art gallery
