The Gazebo. Liesl and Rolfe sing "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" On the first take, Charmian Carr (Liesl) slipped while leaping across a bench, and fell through a pane of glass. Although she was not badly injured, her ankle was hurt and the scene was later shot with her leg wrapped and makeup covering the bandages.
The Gazebo now stands in the grounds of the Schloss Hellbrunn, Fürstenweg, Hellbrunn, Salzburg.

Chris Bond has brought to our attention convincing evidence including this Google shot that, contrary to popular belief, the pier scenes were filmed next door about 500m away, There is a similar gateway there with two pedestals that were dressed with mock up horse head sculptures. Here the cloud is low so the mountains are obscured but the tree on the left lines up, the way it leans and splits into two, as do the square tiles on the ground. The tree on the right hasn't survived. The terrace was a set built of wood and plaster. (SJ)

Kym Karath (Gretl) couldn't swim, so the original idea was to get Julie Andrews to catch her when the boat tips up and they all fall in the water. However, during the second take the boat toppled over so that Andrews fell to one side and Karath fell to the other. Heather Menzies (Louisa) had to save her instead.
