This is just a part of the delightful Schloss Hellbrunn, but definitely the most fun part. The water gardens are very pretty, but the fun begins when the fountains are switched on. You really have to join a tour to experience the trick fountains, but you'll be amazed at what can be done with water, other than getting you a... More

More than just the water gardens but they are why many people come here. Entry is by timed ticket due to their popularity and as a consquence there is the odd accasion where groups are a little larger than is comfortable or are "hurried along" Having got the negatives out of the way it is a trip worth making and...

This is a sight you simply must visit! It will be the best and most memorable experience of your Salzburg stay. Don't be afraid to get wet, also don't believe for a minute that you will be able to escape the spray of the trick fountains. So, if you're a woman, carefully pick your garments for the day!

We took the guided tour of the trick fountains with some friends and our kids. These are at the Hellbrunn Palace, which had been the prince's summer palace however many hundreds of years ago. The prince had all these trick fountains installed all over his palace and would host parties. He got a kick out of getting his guests all... More

This was an awesome tour. We used our Salzburg cards so the cost was covered! Our kids are ages 5,3,1 and we had a stroller with us. The tour was about 30 people and the guide did the entire tour in English and German. The trick fountains were really need...my 5 yr old exclaimed "awesome" a few times! The tour... More

The trick fountains at Hellbrun are a lot of fun. Be prepared to get wet! Its fascinating how the mechanisms are all run with the power of water. You really need to do a guided tour but it is definitely worth it especially if you get the Salzburg card. This is on our top things to do in Salzburg.

We went there despite the cold weather and snow and we really enjoyed it. I imagine in summer can be a lot of more of fun as you can enjoy the water tricks more. Some of the mechanisms are really original and impressive taking into account when they were built. Its easy to reach by bus from Salzburg, as bus... More
