Schloss Hellbrunn and the Wasserspiele (trick fountains)

The Palace of Hellbrunn and the trick fountains

Enjoy a visit to the Hellbrunner lustschlosses (summer residence). Even today the still fascinating, full of surprises, trick fountains, allows you to relive the wonderful times of the famous Salzburg Prince Archbishop.

As in the old days the world-famous Hellbrunn trick fountains perform their special magic. The only original water-machine still preserved in Europe invites you into a world of mythology and illusion. One approaches the grotto on a path, from which water jets squirt from both sides, they so form an archway, so that the visitors can walk right through. When leaving the grotto the guide turns on these water jets and the visitors jump fast, still dry, beneath the archway. But not without getting wet by further splashes which change their direction in unexpected ways, of course just then, when the visitors think that they are safe from a further wetting.

Everyone has real fun in Hellbrunn!
