Boat Trip on the Vils – Rediscover Amberg's Medieval Waterways
Experience Amberg from a unique perspective: On the traditional boat, you will glide leisurely over the Vils and discover the historic Old Town with its city wall, city glasses, and castle from an unusual viewpoint. Cultural history meets nature enjoyment – in 60 compact minutes.
Discovery Experience on Authentic Routes
The boat – a flat wooden vessel based on medieval models – was once an important freight carrier. Today, the city tour takes place over the water from the Old Town through the city glass towards Drahthammerwiese and back to the ship bridge. Architectural details, local history, and sensual impressions combine to create cultural enrichment.
Route, Duration, and Process
Departure at the landing stage Ship Bridge in Ship Street. Start at 14:00, end approximately at 15:00. The journey starts and ends at the ship bridge; there will be no stop at Drahthammerwiese. Ideal for compact and impactful sightseeing.
