"Hugging the side of Mönchsberg Hill is one of Salzburg's public fountains which once served as a Medieval horse bath. The baths were basically car washes for horses in the Middle Ages and in the Sound of Music is where Maria and the kids dance around while singing 'My Favorite Things'. This Horse Bath called Pferdeschwemme, with is its long muraled facade, is the larger of the two in Salzburg."

"It was a luxurious pond, where the watering and washing of horses took place. The pond dates to 1732, when a new fountain was built. The ramp used by the horses to access the pond, leads straight up to the group of figures which include Neptune, God of the sea which is holding a trident and crown whilst mounted on a seahorse spurting water."
