According to folklore, it took millions of years for Mother Nature to create the Alps. Then the glaciers cut through them and blessed the Alpine valleys with rivers and streams. The hotel brochures here proclaim that Salzkammergut was created at God’s leisure, obviously on a Sunday! These are the lakes that have been picturised so brilliantly in the movie ‘The Sound of Music’ and these are the same valleys that Maria, played so beautifully by Julie Andrews and the 7 children of Captan Von Trapp ran around. I think could hear the tune of ‘Do-Re-Me-Fa…’ almost everywhere. It still seems to be linger in the crystal blue skies and the lush verdant valleys.
