Amberger Beer Rafting 2026: 1 Hour of Enjoyment and City Panorama on the Vils

Beer on the Vils: The Amberger Beer Rafting 2026 – Enjoyment on the Water

As the raft glides silently through the old town on the Vils, beer culture meets river romance. The Amberger Beer Rafting combines tasting regional brewing art with a relaxed multi-day experience vibe: open-air acoustic, gentle water, light snacks – a format that translates the festival atmosphere of the beer town Amberg into an intimate journey.

Tradition Meets Enjoyment: Why Amberg is Called Beer Town

Six active breweries shape the cityscape – the Beer Rafting makes this diversity palpable. A brewer on board presents Amberger beer, explains style, malt, and hops, and provides insights into the local festival culture. The community feeling develops in a close space: people share benches, stories, and the view of the city wall.

On the Vils between Ship Bridge and Drahthammerwiese

The journey starts and ends at the Ship Bridge in the old town. The raft follows the historical transport routes of the Vils, passing scenery that only pedestrians typically know. The boarding point is located in the Ship Alley – central, within walking distance to parking garages and public transport links.
