Tributary valleys
In the local vernacular of Zillertal, the upper valley troughs fingering out starting from Mayrhofen are called "Gründe" (meaning "reasons" and "ground bottoms" in English). The name derives from the broad pasturages in the heads of valleys that open up when emerging from the narrow valley troughs. Only the Tuxer Tal retains its "Tal" name (German for "valley"), probably because it was also predominantly settled from the Wipp Valley.
