The Stillup reservoir is a reservoir in the Zillertal. It can be reached from Mayrhofen via a narrow toll road in about 25 minutes by car. Its turquoise waters are fed by numerous waterfalls.
The reservoir is at 1,116m above sea level and is about 2.5 km long. Those arriving by car must park right at the beginning of the reservoir at the Gasthaus Wasserfall restaurant. From there you can walk along a private road to the end of the valley. Anyone traveling by bicycle or e-bike can usually use the private road.
The view from the Gasthaus Wasserfall to the "Stillup Waterfall", also known as the "Kronung", is particularly impressive. The waterfall falls down like a veil on the opposite bank. Stillup Reservoir was built in 1966. It serves to generate energy and protect against flooding in the Mayrhofen area.
