The Zillertaler Regionalmuseum in Zell am Ziller documents the valley before the ski industry: peddler trade, weaving, folk costume, and the traveling musician culture that made Zillertal folk music famous across Central Europe and beyond in the 19th century. The Rainer family singers performed before European courts and in North America, which is the kind of reach that does not happen by accident in a farming valley with long winters. The museum is small and local; plan 1 to 1.5 hours. Zell am Ziller is on the Zillertalbahn narrow-gauge line from Jenbach, which is itself worth the journey. Combine with the brewery experience in the same village for a full afternoon.
