I did the Sound of Music tour in 2012, and I have never forgotten the astoundingly amazing scenery I saw around Salzburg. But that tour only covered a fraction of what you have shown in this incredible video. The way you have put it together, blending the scenes of the film with the locations as they look today, is Oscar-worthy. Your final scene brought tears to my eyes. I can't thank you enough for making this film.

It has already been 55 years and yet this movie still touches my heart that I want to see it every now and then most especially these trying times we're going through. It gives us the best feelings, hope, and encouragement. Kudos to your meticulous filming of the settings to give us the then and now.

This brought tears to my eyes... thank u

I still remember every scene even the past 30 years. Thank you for this filming

There's never been another film that so genuinely captured the hearts of people across the globe! Bravo!

God’s sake. I cried at the end! What an utterly fantastic job you have made of this. I loved every minute. And the way you found the location of the closing scenes was amazing and a real labour of love. Stunning. Thank you SO much!

This is absolutely incredible!!! I'm watching this four years later from when you uploaded it, and I'm just in awe of your work here. Absolutely stunning shots. It's clear that this took a great deal of time to pull off, and I thank you for your efforts. It's truly amazing, and it has inspired me to get out there and experience it all myself! Thank you again! God bless you!

This movie is incomparable... everyone was well suited and played their part to perfection kudos to you all and best wishes Guyana South America

Thank you so much for finding all the locations and telling the story behind it whether it was an actual place or built in the studio in Los Angeles. Thank you for placing the actual place in the film and then giving the shot today in real life as it stand now. All of us the Sound of Music die heart fans thanks you for filming and posting this. It was incredible , beautiful, majestic and make us love the movie more and more 50 years and more since it was filmed.

I made a similar journey about 10 years ago. I can now appreciate this video very much as I relive the journey with you. Your video is much higher quality than my old photos. I was captivated by the film when I was 22 and I am now 77 years old. I can almost not believe that a film could have so much emotional impact on me. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. note, when I went to the top of the mountain I took images from the original movie to check the mountains to make sure I'd found the proper places much like you must have done. Your talent really shows here so beautifully done. I thought the use of John Denver music as odd but highly appropriate. John was a friend of mine in Aspen...also a beautiful mountain community.

Having worked at 20th Century-Fox for some 25 years and having been their 'unofficial' studio historian... Along with everyone else that viewed this, I too congratulate the person who produced this wonderful and iconic location video! First class editing and photography, and for all those who can't see the various locales for THE SOUND OF MUSIC themselves, this is the next best thing for sure... A lot of time, effort and certainly research went into this. CLEOPATRA almost bankrupted 20th Century-Fox, this musical saved them... but unfortunately a few years later the musicals STAR with Julie Andrews, Doctor Dolittle and HELLO DOLLY all flopped badly -such is the crap shoot that is making movies. But Fox wasn't alone in the 1960's... Paramount failed with DARLING LILI and PAINT YOUR WAGON, Universal failed with SWEET CHARITY and Warner Bros failed with FINIANS RAINBOW and CAMELOT. It's not enough to be a hit on Broadway with great music... More than a good script, cast and director -it's the timing of the release, and what worked so well in one decade, is ignored in another. It's like what Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman (BUTCH CASSIDY) said -"In HOLLYWOOD nobody knows nothing." Here's looking at you PORTAL 606...director Robert Wise would've loved your tribute so much, as would have all the cast and crew...

My brother thinks you deserve an Oscar Award too!!!! All my best dear chap !!!

a must see for all sound of music fans - probably the best loved film of all time...

Wow! Thank you so much for your time and effort to make a step by step tour for those of us who will never take the real tour in Salzburg and surrounding area. Blessings to you for sharing this! You have brought a lot of joy to so many people who will watch this!

I am never forget The Sound of .Music since I see on 1968 ..thanks

This video is a masterpiece in and of itself; no voice over, you just let the music and the movie and place speak for you and all of us.

I can't even begin to fathom the sheer magnificence of this video. This is stunning. The end had me almost in tears. Thank you!!!

This is one of the most thorough and professional documentary I have ever seen. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Absolutely astounding. A perfection production of beauty and love, to bring our hearts full circle after all these 50+ years! Thank you for this blessing gift.

I and my wife fully enjoyed traveling with you. Thank you. We want to travel on the same track you rode on my bike someday.

I've tried to be reserved in my life, but when it comes to 'The Sound of Music' I become a sap. Artfully done, I predict I will watch this almost as much as the original. Saps of the world, unite!

Hands down the most moving video I've ever seen on KZfaq! I don't mind admitting it makes me cry. Will revisit often. The technical expertise in crossfading between the film's excerpts and the current shots is impeccable! Breathtaking. Don't know how the research to find all of these locations is even possible, but here it is! The audio track is also so carefully inspired. Hey, a "like" isn't sufficient to rank this video. Desperately need a "love" button! This is a labor of love which I will always treasure. THANK YOU!

I'm in tears watching this. Thank you for your hard work making this memorial.

I was searching for a video on The Sound of Music filming locations to familiarize German friends with the movie. I never imagined I would discover something as well done and majestic as your film. It's a travelogue on its own. But the matching of camera angles and focal lengths to the original move make it absolutely incredible. I am a television producer, and I am impressed with the film's technical quality as well as its creative content. Congratulations on a job well done. Thank you for all of your hard work.

I'm teary eyed just watching this. So beautiful. My favorite movie of all time. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!

The BEST Sound of Music locations video on the internet by far !! I'm loving it !!!!!

Greetings from Southern California, USA! Thank you so much for the beautiful and nostalgic 36:18 minutes of reliving the time when we visited Austria not too long ago, walking all over Salzburg , taking the Sound of Music Tour bus. If it wasn't for the Covid19 pandemic, I would have flown over there and savor the beauty, the culture, the arts, the people and the cuisine right now! Unfortunately, American are not welcome anywhere because of uncontrollable Covid19 infections and deaths due to our inept leadership. Great job and thanks again for the opportunity to reminisce one of my favorite places in the world. Please pray for us:)

I remember taking a class trip in 1965 to see "The Sound of Music" at a large theater in NYC. It only first opened at select theaters in the country. To this day, it is my favorite movie. I have seen it so often, I know just about every line of script. Thank you so much for all the time and effort that you put into making this video. Excellent job.

This is absolutely wonderful - a real labour of love that moved me to tears. You must have spent a lot of time and trouble making this film, but believe me it was truly worth it! Well done and thank you.

Portal 606, I can't express much my appreciation but thank you very much for a very well-researched and thorough video of showing the exact locations around Salzburg in Austria where the Sound of Music was filmed. I immensely enjoyed it. Not only is Austria divinely beautiful but the captured footage that you have made including those scenes from the movie made it an absolute moment for me to appreciate it. The Sound of Music from we were young to even now that I am grown-up is but a piece of heaven for me, and I thank you for letting me relieve memory lane through all the exact film locations that the movie was shot. Even when I was in Salzburg last 2015, I only covered around 50% of what you have impressively done here. Well done with this lovely work of your's.

Speechless for moments after watching it. My salute to you of your persistent effort in locating the scenes with matching past and present version ...... and the final location of Rossfeld ...... very touching . It's a video for viewing not only once but many many times. Long lived the Sound of Music !!!

This is honestly so amazing. My Oma (Grandmother) grew up down the road from the rl family and knew them well and also escaped Austria with her husband at the time. It's so cool to be able to see a few of the areas my Oma grew up around and what her beautiful country looked like. I need to plan a trip someday! Thank you!

Wonderful video! Its like taking a vacation today and remembering one of the best loved movie of all time, The Sound of Music. Austria & Germany is really beautiful. And these places are as lovely as they are now as they were then. Love it!

The Sound of Music is by far my all time favourite movie. You have done this movie justice. It's so amazing to see the actual places where they were. To go there is on my bucket list. Thank you very much for doing this. Your filming is beyond words. Greetings from Nova Scotia,Canada. 😃🍻

i was 16 yrs old when i first saw this film; now am 68 and still viewing this film from time to time;;; how i wish i could go to Austria and .experience what i saw in this Sound of Music Tour;;;;;

Thank you for all your hard work of locating all the beautiful locations where the Sound of Music was filmed in Austria. I was in Austria more than ten years ago and while I was there, I took the Sound of Music tour. It was worth the effort, time, and money. I appreciate you for allowing me to relive those beautiful memories over and over again every time I watch your video for, I saved it in my favorites. I appreciate you more than words can convey. God bless you and yours for your artistic works, well-done.

Great Story. Thank you for sharing. I like to see the movie this time of the year. Saw it on the 70's with my teen age kids, now they are on their 60's Merry Christmas and a Great 2019

This was great. A movie itself. So much work behind, and what a result ! I was moved to see both the movieclips, and the places. It brought good memories from my childhood.

Thank you sooo much. I enjoyed every second of it. I'm from South Africa and the mountains here in the Cape province looks so much like the mountains in this video. Absolutely beautiful. GOD BLESS.

I was 38 years old when I saw this movie, 50 yrs ago, Bavaria is a beautiful country, I visited there in 1986. The Sound of Music is one of my favorites, enjoy..

Amazing, I respect your enthusiastic effort to find these movie locations with the movies. As watching your video, my tears dropped so much, and I remember my young heart heavily touched by the Sound of Music.

Absolutely fantastic video. The way you have matched your footage to the original is incredible, especially the final scene at Rossfeld, very emotional.

I have been to Vienna and Salzburg of Austria five years ago, the scenery of Alps let me unforgettable.

Thank you very much. THE SOUND OF MUSIC was and still be one of my happiest moment.

We have been to many of these places, but you have gone to the trouble, and shared the places that most of us will never see. A wonderful production, and thank you for sharing with all the Sound of Music fans around the world!

This video is marvelous. Thank you for sharing it with the millions of fans of The sound of music. You are the BEST!!!!

I have watched this film several times..you made this film a documentary and at the same time a tourist must see places. BRAVO!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! This tour was on my bucket list and you have made a dying lady so very happy!

Absolutely first class.

Amazing! The camera angles and even the lighting were perfect. It is great that you added the historical photos as well. The attention to detail and accuracy is impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Thank you so much for the overwhelming pleasure and joy this has brought. I am so grateful.

I just saw this video and I was almost in tears 😭 at the end. I love ‘Sound of Music’ and this reminded me of my trip to this area. I wish I had seen more of the area. Watching this brought back the sights, sounds, and fragrances of this beautiful part of our earth. Thank you 😊.

After watching The Sound of Music on tv, I was looking for a video about the scenes and places. I have seen many, but this work is really stunning. Like many others I am, even after all this years, still moved by the film, everytime again I weep. Also with your video. What a perfection. Thank you very much. Great, great job!

An excellent piece of art. We can see you spent the tremendous time to put everything together. Oh, it really made me cry with the nostalgic feeling. As everyone is saying, you did a great job. I feel like flying to Austria and visiting all the sites from here. Thank you so very much for sharing your treasure with us.

Remarkable Achievement - synchronized footage took tremendous patience and skill. Along with some beautiful scenes of the Salzkammergut, it's also got a great soundtrack to boot. Thank You!

That is absolutely stunning. The scenic place is preserved. Thank you for sharing this picturesque places. I enjoyed it...

The time and effort you put into finding all the locations and edit them to match the scenes are incredible!

Thank you so much for your time and research to put all of this together. I saw the movie 50 years ago and then today and it still makes my heart sing. The (then and now) was helpful to see the comparison today. This is a work of love and happy memories. Thank you so much!!

I was having goose bumps and teary eyed watching this video. I commend this guy's effort. I just hope that this video reach Dame Julie Andrews and the rest of the cast. Such an amazing and magical content.

Herve Attia will be proud of you if he see this video. Amazing job.

Dear portal 606: The praise you have received in the comments, to date, is well-deserved - congratulations! In addition to being a excellent, enjoyable documentary, I think that your video constitutes a wonderful (and a very admirable) statement about *yourself*. Your determination to satisfy your curiosity about the filming locations for “The Sound of Music” took you on a journey that was psychologically (and perhaps spiritually) very deep. Because you are young enough to be my son, I find it very touching that you (apparently) find “The Sound of Music” to be as important and meaningful as I do. I do not know your personal reasons for this, nor what compelled you to invest such a substantial amount of time and effort in your project. But you seem to understand that the movie is more than an expertly-crafted work of cinematographic art. It is an affirmation of beauty, joy and hope - and it speaks to people around the world and across generations. So, in my opinion, your documentary is a heartfelt gift to your fellow human beings. What a marvelous act of lovingkindness you have performed! Your documentary is grand, but it is not pretentious. Your undertaking was very ambitious - and serious - but the little touches of humor, here and there, demonstrate that your project was also handled in a spirit of light-heartedness. This balance that you struck, in and of itself, impresses me very much. It’s great, too, that you have included brief shots of yourself in your video. For me - as well as for other viewers, judging from some of the comments - these inclusions serve to make us feel like vicarious companions on your amazing journey of discovery. Additionally, for me, it feels as though you are saying: “Take heart! Do not despair! In an era when nihilism is fashionable and so many people have become jaded and cynical, you are not alone!” My good fellow: thank you very, very much! Best wishes, P.A.

Wow.... underrated video! The amount of time and commitment to get to each location and matching the filming angle is insane. Thank you for your effort.

I have seen The Sound of Music 231 times so far and I am very happy to learn that this awesome movie was filed in Salzburg and Fox studio in Los Angeles.

Still watching of this May 2020. Well done with hard work and dedication of the scenes then and now of The sound of Music shots taken Thank you so much for bringing this into reality . 😍

My goodness!!!!! What a wonderful job!!! I loved, loved, loved it!!!!! Ain't have enough words to thank you!!!!! Amazing!!!

This is remarkable and extraordinary. I'm sure it involved many hours of work to produce the final product. As a fan of the film, I want to thank you for your great effort. It is the best film location documentary of this beloved musical that I have seen. You have done an outstanding job to provide this for fans and historical importance.

I'll watch this again from beginning to end over a cup of tea. You let the scenery and the locations do the talking. The accompanying music is great. It's all very moving. But what does this mean? Your feature? I suppose it teaches us to see a world of possibilities. To see again our world with new eyes. To reimagine a world greater again.

We did the 4 hour S of M tour and really enjoyed every minute of it. Typically we do our own thing but broke down for this one. Had a BLAST! Tour guide did an incredible job. June of 2022 👍

I remember seeing the Sound of Music when I was a child and have been to Salzburg many times, but Thank you for bringing this video online 50 years later and showing the sights today! Bravo!

This must have taken so much time and effort and most of all LOVE for the film. You not only found the locations but also the exact angle it was shot. I am in awe of this amazing video. I will admit the last part had me in tears. THANK YOU for sharing it with us x

What a great work! I lived in the area into my middle teens and visited Mondsee often by bicycle from neighboring Attersee. Salzburg too, we had good friends in that town. I’m now 80+ years old and live in Michigan, USA. Thank you so much , it was a treat to watch this wonderful work!

That shot in Rossfeld is absolutely, absolutely breathtaking. I always wondered and wished to go to that spot wherever it was. I can't believe you found it !!! Amazing before and now comparisons. So jealous but thankful I can watch here. Thank you!!

Excellent video.

Thank you so much, for your incredible work to realease your video and for all your long way to find out, theses scenes. Like ukdh wrote, the final scene at Rossfel is vevey very emotional. My tears flowing. Olivier Lausanne Switzerland

Thank you so much!! Great job finding all those places especially the last. I love how you transitioned the movie to the actual scenery.

That´s just amazing! It gives us a poignant feeling of the passage of time itself, especially for those of us who got to watch it in its release (I was five years old here in Brazil and have loved it ever since:-). Thank you so much for taking all the trouble to make this precious video, I'm sure all The Sound of Music fans all over the world are and will always be grateful for it! Greetings from Brazil!

What a journey and labor(joy) of love!!!!!! Goosebumps all over hits me right in the heart.Very creative.Beautifully captured, both bitter and sweet meaning the memories of yesterday ,a time long gone,revisited.Love the music you used .In the 1980's I went on the tour but yours is very extensive thanx.sad that two of the children are no longer with us only in spirit.

I will be in Salzburg in a month. I must take the Sound of music tour. Your video deserve an Oscar. Spectacular! 54 thumbs down, who are these nincompoops?

OMG my gosh this video really touched my heart . My favourite film as a child 🌈😊

Fantastic job done . Matching the location with the original classic is superb . leaves the viewers emotional . thankyou for the great work.

The BEST movie location video I've ever seen. Thank you!

Amazing! Thank you so much for all your research and work. I saw this movie when I was 7, and it awakened my lifelong love of music and beauty (it was the first time I had ever seen anyplace green and mountainous and different from the flat, brown cotton fields of West Texas. I have been to Salzburg twice in my life and always wondered if the people who live there really know how lucky they are.

It's a masterpiece that will remain forever.It's a beautiful filming location that you'll want to visit at least once. Everyone in the cast, please stay healthy forever

What a hardwork for a locale tracing that's as enchanting as the film. Bravo! Climbing every mountain, driving every road, pausing at every meadow, skirting every lake, walking every monastery and carbon-tracing every peak, steeple, bridge, plaza, cross, and even the town bus...bravo...bravo!

Sound of Music is part of my life since I was 3 yo and I don't know why but I have a fixation or an admiration for it. I've watched it so many times that I lost the count. I've been even in Salzburg because of it. Your video has come to add one more unforgetable experience for the Sound of Music fans. I've watched you video many many times. You've done a great great job. Thank you!

Absolutely Beautifully Done!! Bravo!!!! When I first started watching it, I thought I was just going to see a few locations but you have surpassed any other video I've seen. You put the movie and the locations as they look now together so beautifully and then the music also. Thank you so much. I've got to watch this again and again. All your hard work finding and going to these places is so helpful to those of us who know we will never get the chance to go to this Beautiful Country. Thanks from the USA!!!

Wow that just bought flood of memories as a child watching that movie thank you very much from new zealand

I was in Salzburg in July 2019 but did not get to see all of these sights unfortunately. Hope to go back one day soon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful video!💕

How wonderful work you have done for the fans of SOM!!!! Thank you so much, it’s just beauuutiiiiiful!

Watch this video. Its worth every second of it. Great Research work in presenting the THEN and NOW. Amazing how the sceneries were maintained and remained the same. A TRUE CLASSIC OF A FILM. Thanks for posting !!!

my grandparents saw the sound of music on their honeymoon, and my fiancé and I are going to SEE the sound of music on our honeymoon! thank you for finding all the locations, can't wait to do our own tour!!

I visited Salzburg Christmas day 2019. Only for the day. I was staying in Vienna for four full days. I went to see the Hohensaltzburg fortress and Mozarts home. The Christmas market was fantastic if course. When i saw the Herbert von karajohn platz it took my breath away, it was at night and the lights just lit it up. Truly spectacular! When i watch the film and see the steps and the wall Monchsberg i have the exact same picture. I truly left my heart in Salzburg! Id like to return because i want to be there much longer than just a day! Then i will reclaim my heart and i will leave a lock on the footbridge Makartsteg Bridge (Love Lock Bridge) in the old city. This fine video shows me why id love to return! To climb every mountain! Thanks so much!! Much ❤!

Thanks for covering this....the film means a lot to me and gets me emotional i watch it everytime....thanks for the effort of showing us those beautiful places once more

Amazing good! I did see your AH documetary, and it was my gide line in my last holiday too Berchtesgaden. Discovery Channel should ask you for making more.... 🙂

Oh, this is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. I adored it all. 🦋

How wonderful!! We were just in Salzburg a couple weeks ago! We were also there 20 years ago and did The Sound Of Music tour which was really great. Watching this video after just getting back home to Pittsburgh makes me want to go straight back to Austria!! It’s so incredibly beautiful! Thank you for searching all these incredible places and making the film!!

Absolutely fantastic! You did an incredible job of not only finding the locations as they appear today, but in doing the seamless edits with the clips from the film. Bravo!

Thank you so very much for this video. It is absolutely brilliant showing off the history of Austria, the beauty of Austria, and, of course, the timeless message of the Sound of Music-Truly inspirational.

I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful video. I went on The Sound Of Music tour when I visited Austria, and there is no comparison. You gave me a wonderful gift and I want to say thank you very much .

The unforgettable place of sound of music 🥲
