Salzburg , Austria , is celebrating the movie's 60th anniversary with themed tours and events throughout the year .

The film, starring Julie Andrews , was released in March 1965 .

St. Peter's Abbey is listed as a shooting location in the film, but scenes depicting its picturesque St Peter's Cemetery were mostly filmed on a recreated Hollywood set.

A new audio guide app will guide visitors along a trail around the town of Werfen , where the picnic scene was filmed.

The original von Trapp house is shown in the opening credits and extensively throughout the film.

The original family villa stands in a secluded park on Traunstrasse 34 . It was later turned into a hotel which sadly has since shut down.

In the film, the house was much grander, indeed a palace: The Leopoldskron Palace .
