Boat Trip Amberg – the Old Town from the Front Row on the Water

Ready for an unparalleled discovery experience? This one-hour trip on the Vils showcases Amberg's historic Old Town from a perspective known only to the boat crew. The flat wooden boat, modeled after medieval designs, glides smoothly along – culture at your fingertips, city history passing by, authentic atmosphere at every meter.

What to Expect: Architecture, Water, Old Town Panorama

The city tour on the water begins from the dock at the ship bridge. You look at the city wall, towers, and alley views, hear exciting anecdotes about local history, and experience the Vils as the lifeblood of Amberg. The gentle splashing, the scent of water, and the views of sandstone and half-timbered houses make this tour a cultural enrichment.

Traditional Boat – Experience Like in the Middle Ages

The boat, a flat wooden vessel, was a means of transport in the Upper Palatinate for centuries. Today, this tradition is carefully made accessible for tourism: stable construction, safe boarding, maximum proximity to the water. The route runs from/to the ship bridge; there is no stop at Drahthammerwiese during this trip.

Insider Knowledge and Lively City History

Your guide skillfully imparts background information on landmarks, city development, and cultural heritage. This way, illustrative history, architectural details, and small insider tips for hidden spots along the shore come together.
