This was a great place. I'd highly recommend it for families with children. Watch out for the fountains!

we ran the marathon on May 6 & the route took us right through the Castle. It was so lovely and beautiful we wish all our friends could experience it.

The tour of the rooms was brief and the audio-guide was informative but would not have made the trip if it wasnt for the trick fountains. The Sound of Music gazebo is not next to the palace and as it was raining we did not make the trek to see it.

More that the usual castle with stuffy old rooms and gardens. The trick fountains and gardens are a delight

Went there on the way back from Untersberg visit. You have to follow a guide. I don't find it informative with guide as the crowd is too big and completely waste of time. Should separate tour guide to Germans speaking and English Speaking.
