The Stillup Reservoir is idyllically nestled in the upper Zillertal valley and impresses with its turquoise-blue waters and the steep mountain slopes that surround it. At the southern end, where the tributary flows into the lake, a vast, tranquil landscape opens up with clear streams, green meadows, and partly rocky shorelines. The surroundings change their appearance depending on the season – sometimes with lush greenery and a vibrant water surface, sometimes with a receding water level that reveals the natural structure of the terrain. The path along the reservoir is particularly attractive for a bike ride, offering both scenic diversity and impressive views of the surrounding mountains. The tranquility of the lakeshore and the proximity to untouched nature make this place an ideal destination for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation.

The bike ride along the Zemmbach stream is a special experience – scenically beautiful and physically challenging. From the start in the Zillertal, the wildly rushing stream accompanies the route steadily uphill towards the Schlegeis reservoir. The trail leads through several impressive gorges where the water has carved deep into the rock. Especially in the morning hours, when the light streams through the narrow rock faces and the fog slowly lifts, an almost mystical atmosphere arises. The bike ride itself is well-developed but challenging: Numerous elevation gains, steeper sections, and tight bends demand stamina – but the reward is magnificent. Spectacular views of waterfalls, rugged rock formations, and the alpine surroundings open up again and again. A perfect combination of enjoyment of nature, physical challenge, and alpine adventure.
