Mountain Farming Museum z’Bach in Wildschönau
Mountain Farming Museum z’Bach – History you can touch
A glimpse into the original way of life in the Tyrolean mountains
A visit to the z’Bach Mountain Farm Museum is like a journey back to the origins of the Wildschönau region. In an original, preserved farmhouse dating back to 1795, you'll experience firsthand what life was really like for Tyrolean mountain farmers in the past – simple, industrious and deeply connected to nature.
Over 1,200 exhibits and lovingly preserved rooms convey an authentic picture of bygone eras. From the rustic farmhouse parlor and smokehouse kitchen to workshops and stables, a vivid picture of everyday life unfolds.
An ideal excursion for anyone who wants to discover the cultural side of the region alongside hiking in the stunning natural landscape.
Highlight: The traditional craft market
The craft market at the z’Bach Mountain Farming Museum is one of the most authentic experiences in the Wildschönau region and makes a museum visit truly vibrant.
In summer, the museum itself becomes a stage for living tradition: Regional artisans work on-site using time-honored techniques. Visitors can see wood turners, basket weavers, weavers, shoemakers, and felt makers, among others, demonstrating their processes and offering fascinating insights into long-forgotten crafts.
Artistic works such as gold embroidery, glass and watercolor painting, and fabric printing are also on display, making the visit particularly diverse.
A special part of the experience is the culinary aspect: Traditional specialties are freshly prepared in the museum's old kitchen – including typical fried dough pastries, farmhouse bread baked in a wood-fired oven, and regional products such as honey and the renowned Wildschönau Krautinger liqueur.
The craft market thus uniquely combines craftsmanship, customs, and culinary delights – and is a true highlight of a summer vacation in Wildschönau.
